President Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, 1863
He was asked to say…”Just a few words, Mr. President… just a few words…”
AKA
The Great Emancipator
Standing in the rain, ill with fever and despairing that his listerners would not stay through his “few words”, he encapsulated the entire meaning of the hideous war and its outcome. In two minutes, he spoke the greatest message the nation was ever to hear!
