It's in the introduction to the speech. 
"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. "

yeah i know but i cant figure out on how it was founded or where? im stupid when it comes to simple stuff

bibby · Answer

Don't call yourself stupid, lol.

Let's start with "Four score and seven years ago". I believe a score is 20. 20*4=80
80+7 = 87. I'm not sure if they want you to write 87 years before the speech or what.
