From the Right

It is remarkable that Abraham Lincoln never delivered a Fourth of July speech.

The closest he came was on July 10, 1858, in Chicago during one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, when Lincoln spoke of the Founders as β€œiron men.” He remarked how, every July 4, Americans celebrate those β€œiron men” and their extraordinary achievement, because we are β€œhistorically connected” with it.
