The Gettysburg Address was not an executive order, which had to be issued and signed, it was a speech. Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address, shortly before he delivered it in Gettysburg, on November 19, 1863. He very likely, wrote it the night before or in the early morning hours on the 19th of November.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech echoes the opening lines of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Both speeches begin with the phrase "Five score years ago," which refers to 87 years before the time they were delivered: Lincoln's speech was delivered in 1863, and King's speech was delivered in 1963. This parallel establishes a connection between the struggle for civil rights in America and the fight to end slavery.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was given in November of 1863. The dedication of the cemetery was the only thing going on at the time. The Battle of Gettysburg took place months before, 1-4 July 1863.
To me the worst thing would have been for the people waitng to hear Lincoln speak was that they had to listen to the guy before him for two or three hours
