Lincoln's Farewell Address was a speech made by president-elect Abraham Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois on February 11, 1861〔Library of Congress, manuscript exhibit, "Lincoln's Farewell". American Treasuries of the Library of Congress〕 on his way to his inauguration in Washington, D.C. Several thousand citizens of Illinois gathered to see Lincoln depart. In response, Lincoln gave this brief, impromptu speech from his railroad car shortly before he departed:
The speech moved members of his entourage so much that after the train started, he was asked to put his words into writing. Because of the difficulty of doing so on a moving train, Lincoln asked his personal secretary, John Nicolay, to finish copying it down after a few sentences. A second version of the speech was published in a Springfield newspaper a few days later. ==See also== * United States presidential election, 1860 * Presidency of Abraham Lincoln * Abraham Lincoln and religion * Abraham Lincoln assassination * Gettysburg Address 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abraham Lincoln's Farewell Address」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
