Abraham Lincoln's Lost Speech

Beschreibung

Abraham Lincoln's "Lost Speech" refers to a real historical incident in 1856 when Lincoln, then a relatively unknown lawyer and politician, delivered a powerful anti-slavery speech in Bloomington, Illinois. Unfortunately, the text of this speech was not recorded at the time, and it was considered lost for many years. This event became a part of American history due to the significance of Lincoln's stance against the spread of slavery.
