Abraham Lincoln was not the primary speaker at the November 19, 1863, dedication of a national cemetery in Gettysburg, Pa. He was simply asked to deliver "a few appropriate remarks." The main speaker was Edward Everett, one the nation’s best orators. Everett later wrote Lincoln that, “I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.”
