Question

Review of abe's first speech

Answer 1

As a boy , Lincoln worked as a rail splitter, a person who splits logs to make rail fences. Lincoln along with his friend Dennis Hanks attended a political meeting during which a candidate contesting the elections spoke. However the speech was not very good. After the speech, Lincoln addressed the crowd and refuted all the arguments made by the candidate. All the people at the place including the candidate admitted that Lincoln’s speech was better. Lincoln would go on to become a fine orator who also entertained those around him with funny anecdotes.
