Lincoln’s brief speech at the Sanitary Fair in Baltimore in April 1864 is one of the very few public speeches he made as President. It includes a brilliant exposition of the dueling concepts of “liberty” at work in the Civil War, demonstrating that what one side represents as “liberty” is understood by the other side as “tyranny.”
