Guelzo is such a powerful orator which augments his moral and professional insights and explication of the genius of Lincoln. He is a national treasure.
I love this series of lectures. As a person who has spent considerable time watching and reading just about anything I can get my hands on regarding President Lincoln and this period of American history, this series provides insight and perspective which was new to me. On the other hand, the professor's entertaining delivery, down to earth and even humoris approach makes the series both educational and entertaining. I highly recommend viewing all four parts.
another man that knew the struggle for blacks, and how he spoke up for their cause was Fredrick Douglas. one of the best regiment to fight this cause, was the 54th Massauchets division. Just were willing to fight this just cause, and did it with honor plain and simple.
Thank God for Lincoln lest the Union would not have been saved. The war took a lot out of Lincoln he aged a lot and I m sure the blood of all those casualites weighed heavily on his soul. Let us never forget him
albert camerato Th response of leaders to crisis at different times is a legitimate subject for comparison. Lincoln’s concern to maintain his authority within the law is the opposite of Trumps disregard for law to insure his benefit
Lincoln was smart / savvy enough to recognize the line; he took steps that were constitutionally impermissible but in the cause of preserving the Republic. Those same actions should be scrutinized as they lead to a gradual increase in power of the executive branch where now a president who doesn't recognize those limits uses that power for his personal ends to the detriment of the country.
Lincoln said if I could save the Union by freeing one slave I would do it if I could save the Union by letting all slaves go I would do it if I could save the Union by not freeing any slaves i would do it. The Union and the country were paramount to Lincoln
@@jayrussell1825 Well its goin' up with GM shutting down plants and kicking 15,000 workers to the curb even after your Demi God Trump Boasted/ PROMISED during his campaign that not ONE car plant is gonna be shut down if he's elected. Lesson learnt : Don't PROMISED What You CAN"T Deliver but with Trump, its nothing new about being a Serial Liar....
@@blmetal65 Trump tweet today, Very disappointed with General Motors and their CEO, Mary Barra, for closing plants in Ohio, Michigan and Maryland. Nothing being closed in Mexico & China. The U.S. saved General Motors, and this is the THANKS we get! We are now looking at cutting all @GM subsidies,
@@jayrussell1825 Too late. Large corporations and the CEOs got their biggest tax cuts from Trump and his Republican party and their billions of dollars of profits rolled into their pockets and he can do little or nothing to stop these corporations from doing what they do best - screw the ordinary workers under Capitalist system. Do you really believed Trump even cares for Americans losing their livelihoods in the 1st place?
@@blmetal65 It's unfortunate that your view of the capitalist system seems to be controlled by marxist theory that is spoon fed to us by leftwing professors who never had to create wealth or meet a payroll. The tax cuts are what made the unemployment rate go down. Millionaires in business want to stay in business and with more funds available to them, they create new jobs. JFK recognized that and got Congress to lower taxes and unemployment went down in the early 60's. It's doesn't matter if someone in power "cares" as long as they do their job. The capitalist system creates wealth and jobs far beyond what marxist systems are ever able to do. Don't obsess on this General Motors thing, they were building cars nobody wanted during the Obama Administration & the President tried to bail them out then, but they've kept producing new sedans that don't offer enough value or differentiation when the market prefers SUV's (ugh). I have owned the same 2007 Honda Accord for 11 years because of its reliability. The last General Motors cars I had didn't last, but were built by members of the same union United Auto Workers as build the Honda in Ohio. GM management is just whistling the same old stale tune, unfortunately, for their workers & stockholders. But I've worked in industry for years & have seen bad management about to ruin the firms I worked for & was able to get out & change jobs a few times before they folded. Workers need to keep aware of the marketplace & be flexible.
Very interesting and informative however the speaker’s overwrought presentation is distracting and makes the lecture nearly un-listenable. He needs to tone it down and trust his content, research and insight.
how is it fare that those who neither participated in slavery and could do little about it should be allowad by a just God to pay a price out of all proportion to there guilt. That is not justice

Big fan of Dr. Guelzo

This brings me to tears ... especially the last several minutes.
What is wrong with US ?
"The only right we have is the right to do as I please!"
This was a fantastic series - well done

Lincoln showed his Christian belief With charity for all and malice toward none

Hi, how?
Lincoln was smart / savvy enough to recognize the line; he took steps that were constitutionally impermissible but in the cause of preserving the Republic. Those same actions should be scrutinized as they lead to a gradual increase in power of the executive branch where now a president who doesn't recognize those limits uses that power for his personal ends to the detriment of the country.
Guelzo is always worth listening to. Just wish he were fairer to "radical" Republicans.
Interessante..
God put him in the presidency to free the slaves
If only other historians could speak as well
Lincoln said if I could save the Union by freeing one slave I would do it if I could save the Union by letting all slaves go I would do it if I could save the Union by not freeing any slaves i would do it. The Union and the country were paramount to Lincoln
His lectures were a reminder of what Americans have largely forgotten and lost sight of esp. in current times under Trump's disastrous Administration.
Oh yes, it's a disaster...low unemployment is just killing us.

John perhaps you could use some grammar lessons: the word is fair not fare and their not there
John Milton - Only Christians need to work out that puzzle.
I listen that in that school ther is so many gosts, see ,,,, vr facts gost
Sorry, I don't speak gibberish.
it seems Gods justice in the civil war is most unfare
Lincoln’s response is found in his 2nd Inaugural Address, now inscribed on the walls of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D. C.
Interesting response. How is that?
What God got to do with it! war is the evils of man and you mention God in that context, shame on You.
