Gettysburg Address

During the American Civil War, speech delivered by US president Abraham Lincoln on 19 November 1863 at the battle site of Gettysburg, in which he reiterated the principles of freedom, equality, and democracy embodied in the US constitution.

The address opens with the words ‘Fourscore and seven years ago...’, and ends with an assertion of ‘government of the people, by the people, and for the people’.
