The Gettysburg Address was often assigned to students to memorized in school. It opens in this way: '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.'
The event that is noted in the first paragraph of the Gettysburg Address is the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. "Four score and seven years ago" refers to the year of the signing. The Gettysburg Address was given in November of 1863.
Four score and seven year ago, our father brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to here dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place to those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
