The unfinished work
Which of Lincoln’s words really
sticks out for you? Why?
Which image in the video is most
powerful to you? Why?
Did you know?
We look to President Lincoln as one of the
greatest orators in our history. Unlike almost
all of our presidents in recent history, Lincoln
wrote all of his own speeches. Also unlike today,
Lincoln knew that most people would read his
speeches rather than hear them (remember,
there was no radio or television). His gift for
language is one of the main reasons we revere
him as one of our greatest leaders.
