| has gloss | eng: The speech known as Abraham Lincoln's "Lost Speech" was given on May 29, 1856, in Bloomington, Illinois. Traditionally regarded as lost because it was so engaging that reporters neglected to take notes, the speech is believed to have been an impassioned condemnation of slavery. Modern-day interpretations have suggested the wording may have been too strong and thus purposely "lost". |
