It is 87.
1863 - 87 = 1776
Lincoln gave his speech in 1863. A "score" is 20 years. I hope this helps.

A score is a middle English term referring to the number 20. Four score and seven years ago would refer to 87 years ago. When Lincoln made his Gettysburg Address, he referred to an event that happened 87 years before.

A score is actually 20 so that would be 87 years.

I believe a score is ten years. Therefore four score and seven would be 47 years.
