It's four score. Score is an old word for 20,
so four score is 80 and four score and 7 is 87. When Lincoln spoke these words in 1863 he was referring to 1863-87 or 1776.

A score is 20 so fourscore is 4 times 20 = 80

It's "four score".
A score is 20.
Four score is 80, and four score and seven years ago would be 87 years ago.
