What if everything you thought you knew about the Gettysburg Address was wrong? Picture this: a speech so powerful, it etches itself into the annals of history, but its conception is clouded by myths and misinterpretations. Together, we're about to challenge the popular notion that Lincoln penned this significant speech on the back of an envelope in haste. Spoiler alert: that's not what happened.

Using the insights from Gary Wills' enlightening book, "Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America", we'll take a journey into the past and explore the meticulous preparation and thought process behind one of America's most iconic speeches.

Key Points from the Episode:

• Debunking myths, we'll reveal how Lincoln cherished this rare public speaking opportunity and dedicated weeks to crafting his words. 
• For all history enthusiasts, this episode is a must-listen; not only will we delve into an important piece of American history, but we'll also shed light on the pressing issue of how key historical events like this are gradually being forgotten in our public school curriculums. 
• We dive into the speech itself with four revealing questions about the nature of the address.

Join us, as we journey together into the heart of history, one Liberty Minute at a time.
