Abraham Lincoln [auto]

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led the nation through the Civil War and is renowned for his eloquent speeches. Contrary to his imposing stature, Lincoln's voice was high-pitched and reedy, described as a 'thin tenor, or rather falsetto,' which carried effectively over large crowds. His deliberate cadence and expressive delivery captivated audiences, allowing his profound words to resonate deeply.
