From the Right
AllSides Media Bias Rating: 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 βiron men.β He remarked how, every July 4, Americans celebrate those βiron menβ and their extraordinary achievement, because we are βhistorically connectedβ with it.
