150 years ago today, Abraham Lincoln delivered what would become known as one of the greatest speeches in US history. The Gettysburg Address, at the dedication of the Soldiersâ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, was used by Lincoln to inspire a country torn by civil war.




Now, Google has introduced three new exhibits on the Google Cultural Institute that focus specifically on Lincoln and the 272 words from his famous speech that day in 1863.
