"Four Score and Seven Years Ago"
In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, you can see the place where one of the bloodiest battles of American history was fought. Some people say that the Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point in the Civil War. General George G. Meade and his Northern troops met General Robert E. Lee and his Southern troops at Gettysburg. General Lee lost the battle after three days. So many men were killed that people came from many parts of the country to look for dead relatives on the battlefield. Today almost one thousand unknown soliders are buried in a graveyard there. President Lincoln dedicated the cemetary with one of his most famous speeches - the Gettysburg Address. It began, "Four score and seven years ago..."

In Gettysburg, you can see statues of General Meade and General Lee as well as the graves of the thousand unknown soldiers. And the large Soldiers' National Monument stands on the spot where Lincoln made his famous speech.
