"Of the people, by the people, and for the people"

On this day in 1863, 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address. Was it long-winded, like those of Bill Clinton or Barack Obama? No. It was concise and to the point: that the United States was "conceived in liberty, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
