Milestones of Lincoln’s presidential service include his 1863 signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, a document that declared slaves free forever, and his Gettysburg Address. Given in November 1863 at the dedication of a military cemetery, Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, the Gettysburg Address is one of the most memorable speeches in American history.
