Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
So Tuesday, as Google so kindly informed me, was the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.
I started writing this post on Tuesday morning, I saved it with the intention of finishing it shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, my laptop crashed and I have been unable to revive it. I am currently on my back up laptop which loves to shut down frequently when the memory gets overloaded!
I have to say that many presidents in our history have given good speeches but this is my favorite. Lincoln was a crowd pleaser and must have been quite a charmer. Of course he obviously had enemies considering he was assassinated but people throw rocks at things that shine, right?
If you haven't taken a peek around
Google's Cultural Institute, do yourself a favor and take a look. The caption of the following photo will take you there!.
