What is it that sets Gettysburg apart from other civil war battles and battlefields?

The address. Schools don't teach about the battle, they teach the address. At least they used to. I still remember having to memorize it. Then when I was older, I used to type the address to work on my keyboarding skills.
Those of us on whom the address made an impact went on to learn more about the battles, the politics, the personalities. Most weren't interested enough to even learn how much "four score and seven" added up to.
