The Gettysburg Address is a speech by U. S. President Abraham Lincoln, and one of the best-known speeches in American history.[4][5] It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863 - four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg.
