Sorry, but the Gettysburg Address must be listed as his best speech.

Popular opinion agrees with you. But my personal preference agrees with this article. Lincoln was our most eloquent president, and I truly believe his second inaugural address was his best speech. I think his farewell to the people of Springfield is number two and the Gettysburg address a close third.

How about his farewell speech to his wife and kids when he abandoned the train they were riding on because he feared the train would be attacked?
