Lincoln's now famous Gettysburg Address was not, on the occasion of its
delivery, recognized as the masterpiece that it is today. Lincoln was not
even the primary speaker at the ceremonies, held at the height of the Civil
War in 1863, to dedicate the battlefield at Gettysburg. The main speaker
was orator Edward Everett, whose two-hour speech was followed by
Lincoln's shorter remarks. Lincoln began his small portion of the program
with the words that today are immediately recognized by most Americans:
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal." At the time of the speech, little notice was given to
what Lincoln had said, and Lincoln considered his appearance at the
ceremonies rather unsuccessful. After his speech appeared in print,
appreciation for his words began to grow, and today it is recognized as one
of the all-time greatest speeches.
