Gettysburg Address
The Gettysburg Address is a speech delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863, during the dedication of a national cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, following a pivotal Civil War battle. In just 278 words, Lincoln articulated the principles of human equality and the importance of preserving the Union, making it one of the most famous speeches in American history.
