| Notes: | History of the speech Lincoln made at the convention in Bloomington, Illinois in May, 1856. His speech was so powerful it helped kick-start the Republican party and launched Lincoln into prominence. The content of the speech was Lincoln's opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act and his desire to restore the Missouri compromise. The text of the speech has been lost, so the book is largely surmise. |
