Couldn't load pickup availability
Our exclusive design, the Gettysburg Address depicted on Lincoln's signature stovepipe hat.
See below for the historical background and more from the speech.
- 100% American grown cotton 5.5 oz shirt in Blue jean. Our softest 100% cotton shirt. Garment-dyed. XS - 3X. See size chart.
- Our standard 4.3 oz. Poly-Cotton shirt in Warm grey that gets rave reviews. Our softest shirt. It's also our thinnest and lightest. It is very high-quality and long-wearing, but it is thin and light. Lots of people love them, which you can see in the reviews, but if you judge t-shirt quality based on weight or thickness, do not get this one. Instead, get the 100% cotton shirt. If you're looking for our softest shirt, the one people rave about, this is the one. XS - 3X. See size chart.
Note that the $3 price difference for the 100% cotton Made in the USA shirt is our higher wholesale cost; there is no additional margin.
This design is also available in long-sleeved shirt, a sticker and a magnet.
Also available "History Nerd" design with Abraham Lincoln in a crewneck shirt, pullover sweatshirt in a deep red color, a long-sleeved shirt in light red heather, magnet, and in a sticker.
Historical background
President Lincoln delivered his brief remarks during the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of November 19, 1863, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated Confederate forces at the Battle of Gettysburg.
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
"Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war.
"We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground.
"The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.
"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
"It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Edward Everett, considered the nation's greatest orator at that time, was the main speaker, not Lincoln. Everett spoke for two hours—you can read his speech here—and he was followed by a musical selection. Lincoln spoke next. His remarks lasted about two minutes.
