How many years were in the Gettysburg address?
"Four score and seven years" which indicates 87 years (4x20 +7), the time between the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) and the Gettysburg Address (November 19, 1863).87a score is 20 years, so 4 score is 80 years plus 7.
What is four score and seven years?
Literally, "four twenties and seven years ago," or "87 years ago." A score is 20. Four score is 80, and 7 is 87. So four score and seven years ago means 87 years ago. (see "Wikipedia"; "Gettysburg Address". 1863 minus 87=1776; 4th July - Declaration of Independence!) "Fourscore" means eighty (80). A score is twenty. It's not in very common use any more, but it is a word like "dozen," which means twelve (12)--a special word for a certain number. (And a gross is 12 x 12, or 144.) So if a score = 20, fourscore = 4 x 20 = 80. And 7 makes 87. 1 score = 20 years 4 score = 80 years 4 score 7 years = 87 years
