I am and always have been an admirer and fan of our 16th president. As a black female citizen of this country it is easy to understand why I considered him my favorite every (president). He's role in emancipation of slavery alone would be sufficient reason to honor this man but, I am also hugely impressed with the oratory skills and moral standing that birthed some of the most famous public speeches known to american people.
I’m a white male and couldn’t agree any more. By far our greatest president ever. I’d go so far as to say greatest American ever. Slavery was the biggest stain on this country’s history and he was the perfect man for the job of ending it. Such a shame that he wasn’t able to finish his work. RIP Honest Abe
Dishonest Abe Bang!
I think all students in high school should watch this great documentary. 👮♂️
Yeah it's pretty good stuff
It is good, thanks to the narration. But it’s also a lie!
Mary Mary
Oh. I didn't pick up on that.
What are the big inaccuracies Mary ?
would be interested to learn more on that thanks.
Sow AG You won’t pick up on it from these videos. Read history books. Yes, Mary was a strong woman, but she supported her husband. Sadly, he was always in bed for months at a time so Mary had to carry everything for her husband. Where most husbands look after their wives, she had to look after him. She had to do his work for him behind the scenes when she couldn’t pry him out of bed. His mental illnesses were profound! There have NEVER been so many attacks on a Presidents life. He was sad, but she was strongfffdv

yes you are right. Was aware of it but didn't realise the extent.
sounds hard to imagine that he could be away from public view for months at a time.
David McCullough’s wonderful narration adds so much to this series A HOUSE DIVIDED. I Can’t imagine it without his voice. He’s an historian himself & award-winning author; his books TRUMAN & JOHN ADAMS both won the Pulitzer Prize. It’s Aug 2020 & he’s still with us, along with his wife of 70 years, Rosalee.
Sabrina Dubois The one good part of the documentary is McCullough narration.
N O you mean the only thing TRUE about this doc.

Just because ya'll want to believe lies about Lincoln doesn't make those lies true.
He was a racist, basically a dictator as President, and his personal life was a wreck.
This documentary, and numerous others, admit this fact.
But unlike your "sources", they also show the good aspects of Lincolns life and Presidency.
You may hate Lincoln, but that doesn't mean he never did any good or that he wasn't a legitimately elected President and strong executive.
Campfire Ghost A closet historian. In what ways is it untrue? Back up your statement with actual facts. You simply not liking this series is not a reason. Come on. Let’s hear it.
St Bindo How was Lincoln a “dictator”?
The music when Willie is talked about is haunting.
His farewell to Springfield is so poignant. Made me feel very sad. I guess he was a very deep thinker.
He should have been able to return after his presidency ended . I wish John Booth and his co conspirators had been caught , before they had the chance act on their plot .
I loved this ENTIRE series so much. Great documentary.
Great documentary
Willie could have been a great president ! It's immensely heartbreaking he never grew up and go the chance ! He should have been able to go back to Springfield with his family after his father's presidency ended !
Willie did go back to Springfield when his father's presidency ended. :-( :-(
mary was such a little brat, i love it lol
This is a magnificent documentary combining the personal, relating to the Lincoln's, with the epic and horrendous narrative of the American civil-war, in such a way that one is drawn into the
era and can feel and comprehend it as if one were actually present somewhere inside the vast tapestry of a nation divided and at war.
We claim July 4, 1776 as our Independence Day. Talk is cheap. Had the colonies not won the Revolutionary War, our founders would end swinging from a tree and we might still be British. The USA was not acknowledged as an independent sovereign nation until the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The USA outlawed slavery less than a century after her founding. This was of her own volition, though many died in the argument.
True without the sweat and blood of the common people; the captured Africans, the political prisoners of Britain sweep into indentured servitude and slavery the USA would not have the strength or financial resources to protect itself. The sorrow of their struggle for survival still flows in our blood today. The rich may have claimed the USA but the poor built it, fought for it and loved it. I hope we have their strength to bond together and fight to protect our homeland in the times to come.🙏💕🙏💕
31:00 imagine how Mary would’ve felt about tabloids, paparazzi and TMZ
Does anyone know the music playing intermittently in the background? Please comment and refer me
Missouri was days away from voting on secession when the emancipation proclamation was read. The state was all set to secede. My ancestors were in Missouri at this time from Tennessee and fought for the Confederacy
Kevin Eaton, I also had ancestors in Missouri who fought for the Confederacy at that time, mainly in Wright County and surrounding areas and they were forced to flee. By the way, I have an Eaton ancestor buried in Missouri. His name was Abraham Eaton and he died around 1863.
DG Two my family was from Texas County which is right close to Wright County!
An American History.
This is not history. Read the many realistic books. This is just not true
@@waitfourteendaysthenask305 name the book
Ray Meador I don’t have to name a damn thing. It’s not my responsibility to teach you American History. If you want to believe this garbage, help yourself!
@@waitfourteendaysthenask305 what exactly is not true in this documentary?
Would that we had his like today . Trump says hes better then Lincoln, he and his fellow present day republican party ( with a few exceptions ) are not fit to lick his boots. Lincoln would be appalled at their posturing and lack of empathy .
..."TIME" was on the side of the SOUTH???...
I certainly hope they don’t use you for teaching kids. Our children deserve the truth not lies for school, St Bindo!!
I didn't make the documentary, but if I had kids I'd use it to teach them. It's the most accurate biography of Lincoln that's aired on television.
Says the 1 that hides his name
@@raymeador2243
Who are you addressing?
What a weirdo. Best documentary on the Lincolns.
You must be from the south. Anyone with a shred of intelligence knows this channel didn’t make this documentary, they only reposted it.
Hell, he was bi-polar. Too bad they didn’t know about such as that in his time.
See my channel on Moses Dallas, a black man who was an honoured Confederate Navy ship pilot!
This is a very inaccurate ? Biography. Oh, wait no you can’t use full opinion to teach facts. Poor President and poor video if you want to know the truth
Trump is getting the same treatment as Poor Lincoln. Sad! Trump 2020
Terry
You can not possibly make this comparison.
Terry, check out The Lincoln Project on TH-cam. They are true republicans, which is why they chose to use Lincoln’s name, and they want trump out, as most decent people in the world do.
@@kaymuldoon3575 Comparing A. Lincoln to the racist inchief is a great insult to A. Lincoln legacy. Lincoln republican party died years ago when it was infiltrated by racists who wanted to go back to "old good days"
Trump would have been a confederate in those days
Trump doesn’t deserve it. Lincoln did!
