Echoing Lincoln, keynote speaker and Civil War historian James McPherson said the president took the dais in November 1863 at a time when it looked like the nation might indeed perish from the earth. The Battle of Gettysburg became the hinge of fate on which turned the destiny of that nation and its new birth of freedom, McPherson. In the July 1863 battle, considered the turning point of the war, federal forces turned back a Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania. Lincolns speech was delivered more than four months later, at the dedication of a national cemetery to bury the battles casualties.
