Über diesen Titel
In March of 1860, Abraham Lincoln delivered a powerful two-hour speech in New Haven that helped transform him from a regional figure into a national political force.
Speaking at Union Hall before a large audience that included Yale students, Lincoln made a clear and persuasive moral appeal that the future of the nation depended on a system where labor was free, upward mobility was possible, and slavery had no place.
The speech introduced Lincoln's public image as the “Rail Splitter,” a symbol of humble origins and honest labor that would become central to his presidential campaign later that year.
In New Haven, Abraham Lincoln wasn’t just speaking to a crowd, he was laying out the argument that would carry him to the presidency and define the moral stakes of the coming Civil War.
