If anyone could tell me who made the speech, and perhaps what year it was, it would really help!
-thank you

Well, hard to say. Depends what you consider a speech. I guess it needs a formal occasion. I've searched for a while. A few sources say Washington's second address, at 133 words is the shortest one. I haven't found anything shorter. It was given on march 4, 1793. Address below links to the text.
The full Gettysburg Address (below) is actually a bit longer.

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was made in November 1863 and lasted a couple of minutes. The words are so poetic and powerful that they remain fresh even today, and have long been part of the national consciousness in the US.
"Four score 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."
Great stuff, sad and beautiful.

Not positive, but it may have been Winston Churchill who stood up and said "never, never, never, never, never give up" and then sat down. I think it was to a university graduating class. I don't know the year, but I think it was the late 1940's.
