Lincoln’s Greatest Speeches

This brand new presentation will introduce you to the greatest speeches given by our greatest president. Abraham Lincoln was a master of communication. Like FDR during World War II, Lincoln constantly explained to Americans why we were fighting the Civil War. Although many people throughout the Union opposed him, President Abraham Lincoln never stopped trying to bring about national consensus, conciliation, and cooperation.

You are probably very familiar with the Gettysburg address. And you may remember that President Lincoln famously called on the nation to deal with defeated traitors, “With malice towards none and charity towards all..” but in this insightful history presentation, we will go pull out the surface. We will look at how Lincoln used language to make sure his positions were clearly understood, that people felt empowered, and with the hope that he could heal a broken nation.
