1 On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettyburg only out of courtesy. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.
2 It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15 , 000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln went to a friend and remarked, " I have failed again. " On the train back to Washington he commented sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed. "
3 Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its deep meaning and its simplicity. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.
