- Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was notable not only for his leadership during the Civil War but also for his distinctive appearance, characterized by his beard. Interestingly, he was the first president who almost broke the norm by sporting facial hair, a decision influenced by a young girl named Grace Bedell, who suggested that a beard would improve his chances of election.
The rare photos of Abraham Lincoln, both with and without his iconic beard, tell fascinating stories about his life and presidency. These images offer glimpses into different periods of his journey, from his humble beginnings to his time in the White House.
Join us as we delve into the intriguing tales behind these historic photographs and uncover the lesser-known aspects of Lincoln's life.

In the 1980s, I had a patient who was 108 years old, and she told me many stories about her father in the Union army during the civil war, she recalled what it was like before there were cars too! She was a walking history book.
I love that Susan :)
That's so awesome... I would have loved to meet her
That, and she, sounds so interesting!
Was this in St. James Mo.
@@mackelby1 No, it was in Orlando, FL. Her name was Violet but I don't recall her last name!
It saddens me that presidents like him have not existed with Lincoln's courage, integrity and foresight for a long time. Where are they?
JFK was one of them. He and Lincoln were killed because Lincoln refused funding for the civil war from the Rothschild zionist satanists and JFK wanted to abolish the FED owned by the Rothschilds.
Owned
You don't see it do you?
Lincoln was killed because he would not accept funding for the civil war from the Rothschild zionist satanists. Instead he printed green backs and taxed Americans and when the war ended he ended taxation. JFK wanted to abolish the FED owned by the Rothschilds and he wanted to label AIPAC as a foreign lobby and wanted a count of Israel's warheads because he didn't want Israel getting nukes and Israel was created by the Rothschilds, he also wanted to limit the powers of the FBI and CIA and also to end the Vietnam war and this is what got him killed. There was one other president who was killed by the Rothschilds and I can't remember who it was. They tried to kill Thomas Jefferson but did not succeed.
People of that caliber can't get nominated. It's not in the interest of Corporate America.
We sure need another President like Lincoln. A truly good and honest man.
True
Was he really black?
We have another Lincoln. His name is Donald Trump
@@Mr.Helper.no he was white
@@Mr.Helper. I don't think so.
Lincoln has always been my favorite President, but I believe it's because he always reminded me of my Papa.
I always was fascinated by This President especially after listening to his bixby letters it showed how well spoken and empathetic he really was
Allegedly, two men were arguing about the right length of men’s legs. Lincoln was passing by and they asked him, “How long should a man’s legs be?” Lincoln touched his beard and intently observed the legs of the 2 men then replied, “Long enough to reach the ground.” End of argument.
😂something my grandma would've said,I miss wise old people .
@@carolinarain7687 My friend was quicked witted too. I miss his quick honest, never mean common sense style too.
The mole was broke after Lincoln
@@oneeyeddog3045
"MOLE ?" 😂🤣😂🤣 Bwahaha. That's hysterical !!
Were the Possums and Rats broken too ?
So that’s where my mom got that saying.
Lincoln is a man who dragged the US one more step closer to realizing the ideals of the US constitution and its founders. A truly noble gentleman of great character. I’m not an American, but this man makes me wish I was.
You could always change your citizenship! I believe your last name is french. Just wondering.
The Life and Character of

LINCOLN NOT A CHRISTIAN
One of the commonest, and one of the most attractive, claims now asserted by the admirers of Mr. Lincoln is, that he was a pious man and a Christian. Lamon tells us after his assassination he was compared to the Savior and Redeemer of mankind. One of his reverend admirers compares his assassination to the crucifixion of our Lord; and since both of these events occurred on Good Friday, the writer says "even the day was fit." But since Mr. Lincoln's "taking off" was in a theater, it may be noted that this fanatical divine says nothing as to the fitness of the place at which the "taking off" occurred.
Another divine, in an oration delivered this year on the centennial anniversary of Mr. Lincoln's birth, begins it with the words: "There was a man sent from God whose name was Abraham Lincoln.' He then speaks of him as being "like unto Melchizedek," and as the "one great man, and mystery and miracle of the nineteenth century."
It seems to us that the real mystery here is the fact that any one anywhere should be so foolish in this enlightened age as to suppose he can make sensible people swallow any such twaddle, nonsense and sacrilege as this.
Herndon says of Mr. Lincoln's alleged Christianity:
Lincoln was a deep-grounded infidel. He disliked and despised churches. He never entered a church except to scoff and ridicule. On coming from a church he would mimic the preacher. Before running for any office, he wrote a book against Christianity and the Bible. He showed it to some friends and read extracts. A man named Hill was greatly shocked and urged Lincoln not publish it; urged it would kill him politically. Hill got this book in his hands, opened the stove door, and it went up in flames and ashes. After that Lincoln became more discreet, and when running for office often used words and phrases to make it appear that he was a Christian. he never changed on this subject; he lived and died a deep-grounded infidel (Facts and Falsehoods, p. 53; see also Lamon, pp. 489-493).
Lamon says:
Mr. Lincoln was never a member of any church, nor did he believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures in the sense understood by evangelical Christians.... Overwhelming testimony out of many mouths, and none more stronger than out of his own, place these facts beyond controversy.... when he went to church at all, he went to mock, and came away to mimic (Lamon, pp. 486-487)
Lamon further says:
It was not until after Mr. Lincoln's death that his alleged orthodoxy became the principal topic of his eulogists; but since then the effort on the part of some political writers and speakers to impress the public mind erroneously seems to have been general and systematic (ibid., p. 487).
He then inserts the letters of a number of Mr. Lincoln's closest friends and neighbors, all of whom fully sustain his statements. One of these says : "Lincoln went further against Christian beliefs and doctrines and principles than any man I ever heard. He shocked me" (ibid., p. 488)
Another (Herndon) says: Lincoln told me a thousand times that he did not believe the Bible was a revelation from God as the Christian world contends.... And that Jesus was not the Son of God (ibid., p. 489).
Another (Judge David Davis) says: "He had no faith, in the Christian sense of the term" (ibid. p. 489)
Lamon then quotes Mrs. Lincoln as saying: "Mr. Lincoln had no hope and no faith, in the usual acceptance of those words" (ibid. p. 489)
And Mr. Nicolay, Lincoln's private secretary, as saying: "Mr. Lincoln did not, to my knowledge, in any way change his religious views, opinions or beliefs from the time he left Springfield to the day of his death" (ibid. p. 492)
It seems to us that these statements from these sources ought to settle this question, and that it is wrong, and nothing short of an outrage on the truth of history to assert that Mr. Lincoln was, or ever claimed to be, a Christian; that such an assertion can only reflect on those who make it, and must bring upon them the application of the maxim, falsus in uno falsus in omnibus; for surely those who are so reckless as to misrepresent a fact of this nature will not hesitate to misrepresent any other fact that is suits them to misrepresent or misstate.
@vernonlemoignan1392 - President Lincoln violated the US Constitution numerous times. He denied Habeas Corpus, shut down News Paper companies for printing anything negative about his war, surrounded the homes of judges with soldiers who were going to rule his war was unconstitutional, locked up political opponents, etc. He only ended up emancipating slaves as it was expedient to win his unconstitutional war and had nothing to do with freeing them to realize their equality. Before Lincoln, the United States were multiple States united together for a common purpose of defense and trade. After Lincoln the United States became a nation in which the States were subservient to an overarching Federal Government. He was America’s first tyrant! Sadly, he’s so revered that even in his death he’s deified and can’t be spoken out against and like the gods of old, he sits upon a throne in temple with his own mythology taught to everyone.
That is an absolute falsehood, given that Lincoln broke a number of laws and many elements of the constitution to bring The South to heal.
The constitution was written by Thomas Jefferson, who was very explicit in advocating States rights above the central government, which is what the civil war was actually about.
Don’t EVER kid yourself that Lincoln was The Great Emancipator. As Napoleon famously and accurately said “The winners write history”.
Lincoln said and I quote “If I could preserve the Union by freeing the slaves I would. If I could preserve the Union by freeing but some of the slaves I would. If I could preserve the Union by not freeing the slaves I would.” He only freed the slaves to keep the 2 super powers at the time (Britain and France) out of the war because they were sympathetic to The South.
The Civil War was about the preservation and enhancement of centralized federal government, northern industry and banking against the southern landed aristocracy. Thomas Jefferson warned John Addams about this, when he correctly said that all the industry and wealth was concentrated in The North.
It’s very important for people to get their historical facts right before making statements like you have done without any empirical, factual EVIDENCE. Other terms for that are historical whitewashing or lying!
He was a great President. I always thought he looked a lot older than his true age throughout his life. This was a great video. The animated photos are amazing.
Read a story involving Robert Lincoln, who was the only son to live to adulthood, that while at the the train station, he lost his balance and if not for a stranger pulling him to safety, Robert would have fallen into an oncoming train. That stranger just happened to be the brother of John Wilkes Booth. This incident occured about a year before Lincoln's assassination. So one brother saved the life of a Lincoln, the other took the life of his father, our President. The irony of it all!
I've heard that story and it's bizarre to say the least. It's also kind of weird that Lincoln was shot in Fords Theater and JFK was shot in a Lincoln Continental made by Ford.
@@fokkerd3red618 there are other uncanny parralels between Kennedy and Lincoln. I believe both presidents have some kind of soul connection. Once I became passionately involved in learning about both presidents, beginning in 1996, many strange things kept occuring in my life that was way beyond coincidence. I kept journals, but never did write the book I so desired to. Life happens!
It's probably not irony. John Wilkes Booth famously resented his brother because he was his father's favorite, and because he was the better actor. it is very quite possible that booth was only a confederate sympathizer, and in turn assisinated Lincoln, was because of his incredible hatred for his union loving, Lincoln loving brother
@@vampiregamingyt8754 ...sorry, can't say I buy that theory. A conspiracy was involved in the assassination of President Lincoln, (as was the assassination of JFK). Many were found guilty and hanged for the assassination of Lincoln. Too bad the same didn't happen for the guilty scum responsible for killing President Kennedy!
@@fokkerd3red618 I think JFK's secretary was named Lincoln.
I adore him, if any a person I would like to sit and talk with it would have been Lincoln, how smart he was, how creative and eloquent his words were, no one could match that! He suffered so with the weight of the war on him, loss of his children, unhappy and abusive childhood, the loss of dear ones, he suffered so! There is that famous photo of him that touches your heart, to a man who wasn't thought of as good looking, I have never seen a photo that exudes such beauty as that picture, it touches your heart and soul. I am sorry I never met him, I would have loved to have listened to his story telling and laughed with him! God bless you Abe you certainly we're meant to be! Love, wendy

And now, thanks to AI you can!
I visited Springfield. Lincoln's house
An out house with two seats. Visited his office- it had a trap door in the floor so he could drop into the Court room. At the library, you can read his arguments in Court cases. Also the cemetery where he's buried. I stood above his grave: close to Lincoln
Amazing experience
I've taken a number of friends/relatives to tour the Lincoln area of Springfield Illinois and New Salem and am amazed at the interest in Lincoln's history. When the flag is lowered at the end of the day at the Tomb there's a nice ceremony where the Union soldiers have a reenactment during the Flag lowering.
I remember taking a trip to Washington DC when I was 14. I was in a Gifted Program at the time. We went to all of the Monuments. I believe I was most inspired by his. I chose my Politics because of him. The Country needs another Abraham Lincoln.
To finish us off? Brandon is doing that. Lincoln got 750,000 killed.

Yes! I have that paperwork too!
He is still a great man,and President,we should all hold that type of determination.
Wow !!!!!!!
Nope
I remember going to the Theatre and the house he was brought to across the street when I was on my DC school trip in 2004. It’s wild how they kept that bedroom the same. Obviously there were ropes and I can’t remember if you could walk into the room and most of it was roped off or if the door was roped and you could only look in. Either way, there was no way you can explain going to places with that much history and seeing them in person. I remember going to a Plantation and being awe struck by the size and the beauty of the property, went to the top of the Washington monument before they stopped letting people go up, went to like 4 Smithsonians, the White House when you could get a little closer, the Lincoln Memorial etc. I will never forget that trip. Made me realize even though we are a young nation compared to the rest of the world, we have SOOO much important history.
Go to Grants home in Galena. It’s wonderful
@@suellensheppard9734 I will have to put that on my Bucket list for sure. I want to go back to DC soon but it was 2004 when I went and I haven’t been back. Im only 33 so I have some time. Honestly, the Plantation homes that they preserved and turned into tourism type houses were my favorite next to the Smithsonian Museums. I think it’s because of the size of the properties, the beauty, and then you think about what really happened at those places and it just makes the History side of my brain tingle a bit lol
We need a Abraham Lincoln right now.
We do but you reject him cause they told you to

he should have let them go, as they had the right to do but...lincoln broke laws with his forced idea that the states had not the right....today Texas is voting to return to being their own country seperate from the u.s. and will the president resort to the same?? I grew up in tennessee had to memorize the gettysburg address but also taught after the war most "rebel" soldier's were given back citizenship if wanted.. should have let them go and the two america's would be stronger today not as it is today..we're in deep trouble and america may soon have to restructure the country anyhow since its almost too big to function as it did in the 1950's-60's things were much better then...today it's got to many "groups" "gangs" running the neighborhood's even in the country but back then no near as today...can't go back and there's only fire ahead so just keep driving pray for the best expect the worst..

@@stubaker2574 think of the union as a contract between the states and the federal government. The dixies tried to get out of the contract, and paid the price for it.
Who knows??? It might have been better than anything on TV back then.🤔
This story has always fascinated me: Just a few days before his assassination, Lincoln dreamed he was walking through the White House. He walked into the East Room of the White House to find a covered corpse guarded by soldiers and surrounded by a crowd of mourners. When Lincoln asked one of the soldiers who had died, the soldier replied, “The president. He was killed by an assassin.”
fake
You Got The Story ALL Wrong. Lincoln Was Sleep Walking And Came Across MTG And Boeburt Sneaking Around Trying To Shoot Him With Their AR-15 Guns. But Mary Lincoln Surprised Them By Calling 911 On Her Smartphone, To Have Nancy Pelosi Come To The Rescue... THAT'S More Like It...
@@dylanTOP5ALIVE fact!
Please advise where you found this "story".
@@Baskerville22 Google Lincoln's dream: Lincoln dreamed about being assassinated before his death
It is widely believed that Lincoln anticipated his assassination, as three days before his death he discussed with Ward Hill Lamon, his friend and biographer, a dream he had in which he was assassinated.
Facts from Lincoln's Assassination and Death - Pearce Museum
He is and always will be a great mark for History . For the black people and for all people of color. And for what he said in his speech , that we are all created equal.Those words spoken brought many people down to reality.And every bit necessary for the President to speak those words. God bless him . RiP. Abe.
Seeing some of these photographs "come to life" is both fascinating and a bit creepy.
No. Just creepy.
Not fascinating just weird.
I think they were well done and the softness and kindness portrayed in his eyes was very nice.
I once had access to the same simple photo animation program and it made everyone move like a simpering prom queen. It's not a good look on Abraham Lincoln, and the coloring looks like a robotic "first date" cosmetic job. Neither effect is needed for the video, which would be fascinating with just the photos "as is". As are? Anyway! Thanks for making this, and please consider remaking it without the amateurish effects.
@@questionauthority4038:
Ask the 750,000 plus souls lost during and after the civil war about the bastard´s softness and kindness.
Abraham is a very attractive and handsome man. Rest his beautiful soul.
I have been so fond of Abraham Lincoln. It seemed he was a good man and a great president. Too bad that he was taken too soon. He fought for what he believed in and freed the slaves. He is a hero forever.
Agre but the death photo is not Lincoln. When his body was relocated to the Peterson House he was laid diagonally. Attending Physician Dr. Leale had the body stripped naked for a reexamination.
He didn't start the war over freeing slaves; he did it to deny State's Rights, and only used slavery to rally the cause after losing so many young lives in the campaign. The states having slavery and not seceding were not included in the Emancipation Proclamation.
Even though I am not impressed in the early stages of the war but I do love him during the middle to later stages in the war though
@@vphlsThank you for the information.
It’s worth noting slavery existed many years after the civil war. The Federal Government created the 13th Amendment to “end slavery” of which some states didn’t ratify until many decades later - the point being that slavery was unconstitutional from the ratification of the Constitution by the states and didn’t need the 13th Amendment. The act of all states ratifying the Constitution without freeing the slaves was the genesis of the Federal Government by all branches trampling on our Natural Rights. Better we should have had a system of protections of our Natural Rights than a Government, which always results in tyrannical control.
I love seeing him tower over the average height people in the photos where they're showed standing..The comparison of photos taken of him between the beginning of his political career through his presidential term show a weary , etched sadness into his face with a terrible show of stress and agony that the terrible war put him through..He was indeed a unique and great man,president and American.
The photos I love best are the ones where it's clear Lincoln's background included mixed races.
Well said!!
And look at what we have now ! Certainly not living up to the Title.
Actually, medical teams have studied his images believe it's a strong possibility that Lincoln had Cranial facial microsomia, which is a skull deformity condition babies can be born with. If you study his images, one side of his face is slightly smaller than the other. Friends and people close to him at the time, documented how he lost a lot of weight in the last year of his life and was dealing with fatigue, so there is the added speculation that he had cancer.
@@hilaryc3203 Actually he had been kicked in the head by an unshied horse at a grinding wheel when he was 10 years of age that left him unconscious for hours before he was even found by others who thought him dead at first. He was also noted to have had an issue with his pituitary gland. The area in which he was kicked was in the forehead just above his left eye that left a dint even into his adulthood.
Abraham Lincoln was a martyr. May God Bless his soul 🙏🏼
So sad. The lost photo is not Lincoln because one thing, he was naked when he died as Dr Leale had Lincoln disrobed of all his clothing, including his white shirt.
I think Lincoln was the greatest president ever. The man lived a torturous life full of tragedies but he held the country together.
Apparently, he nearly drowned as a boy. He was saved by a girl who happens to be buried in my town - Martinez, CA. It’s part of our town’s historical, cemetery tour.
Interesting!! Any idea what the girls name was ?
Hey I never knew that- I used to live in Crockett and visited that very cool Catholic cemetery many times. I am guessing the girl is in the cemetery across the street?
Austin Gollaher?
Hitler nearly drowned too as a boy and was rescued by a Priest. I often ask myself what, if he still was alive, that Priest later thought about that day.
Its called humanity you think you watch a boy drown?
Lincoln lived in a time in some ways similar to today. A greatly divided country a terrible war combined with the horrors of slavery. He had all of this on his shoulders and it took a toll on him mentally and physically. He had other personal problems as well but he gave everything he had in a time where life itself was very difficult. This is one of the greatest men that ever lived.
Yes , and today we get Brandon !
@@sailingmohican2767 The left can't accept the truth or the facts, no matter what.
Lincoln was suffering from Marfans disease at the time of his death.
The Sharkster: Research: the Shipping Companies archived and dated records, at the Maritime Repositories in Annapolis, Maryland, Virginia, Norfolk, Charleston, Ledgers and Manifest starting around 1764 to Civil War. What was their Cargoes? Many of the Shipping Companies no longer transported SLAVES after 1807. Because many of the states had out LAWED IT and the Shipping Companies had found it was NOT PROFITABLE.
Research: The Individual States and Counties Plat maps and Proper Tax Records, Aristocrats properties and Plantations Dated and archived Family Business Records. Including Family BIBLES.
Around 1764, many of the Aristocrats and Planters had also found that the use of slaves were NOT PROFITABLE. And they decided to multiple children. With some of the Aristocrats and Planters having as many as
23 to 25 children. So, the divided their properties and plantations into small individual DIRT FARMS, of 40 to 160 acres, with each of their children inheriting their portion. And farming it themselves. And for some of their descendants, they still are farming it themselves, TODAY! How many people can you feed on a 40 to a 160 acre farm?
The statistics of Civil War also shows that 92% of the Southerners who fought for the South in the UN Civil War was small, individual DIRT FARMERS, who did NOT own SLAVES. 92%. They fought for "States Rights," to be heard in their GOVERNMENT.
ONLY 8% of the Southerners, who fought in the CIVIL WAR OWNED SLAVES. 8%...
@@infinitejest441 I thought it was a gun shot wound! To the back of a head... For executing John Wilkes Boothes' cousin.. That Abraham Lincoln had Pardon and then reneged on it.
It is interesting to note that Lincoln himself said that if he could have united the north and the south WITHOUT emancipating the slaves, he would have done so.
Medical teams have studied his images believe it's a strong possibility that Lincoln had Cranial facial microsomia, which is a skull deformity condition babies can be born with. If you study his images, one side of his face is slightly smaller than the other. Friends and people close to him at the time, documented how he lost a lot of weight in the last year of his life and was dealing with fatigue, so there is the added speculation that he had cancer.
I suspect in his day the percentage of congenital abnormalities was higher.
Marfans syndrme
I hear he got shot.

@@lilmissbloodbath89 You have no idea what you are talking about.
The virtual photo of Abraham Lincoln coming to life is quite astounding and just a little creepy at the same time.
Prove that he ever said that.
I know that to many people, Abraham Lincoln is a controversial man, but for the war he fought and united the nation under one nation and therefore Keeping America the greatest Nation to ever exist upon this earth, he solidly believed in the Constitution and believed that he was right in allowing freedom to ALL Americans. You can tell he had a very tender heart, who was terribly saddened by the loss of his youngest son, and he truly was one of THE Greatest American Presidents to ever take office in the White House. I would say he is at least in the Top 5, if not the top three. When I look upon his picture, and see the lines of sorrow, pain and bitter experience etched into his face I see a man who was truly tempered in the forge of life and this game him a wisdom that few had, even in his day. He did God's work, in keeping the Nation united, and emancipating the slaves and other repressed Americans, so that the United States of America could become a flawless example of freedom to the world. For as long as slavery existed in the USA, the example the United States of America showed unto the world was one of hypocrisy, that only white people were able to be free in America, and it is extremely sad to see that So many Americans stood against the idea of Every man, woman and Child MUST be free for America to flourish and grow to be the Greatest Nation on Earth. If it weren't for the U.S. Constitution, the world would be a much darker and violent place and freedom would be very hard to come by. Europe was dominated by governments based upon birthright and the idea of Royalty being a God given basis for Government. It was not and Europe, of all places was forced to clean up their act because they were facing a HUGE drain of citizens fleeing the oppressive monarchies to a Nation where the only limit to a person's success and happiness was his own willingness to fight for it and work towards it. This actually showed up as a brain drain, as the people who emigrated to the USA were bright, intelligent and skilled. they had excellent ideas and it proved to everyone that a monarchy was a source of stagnation and held back those who could otherwise be a huge benefit to their nation and it's economy. Once the Constitution and what it stood for became more known around the world, it set a fire and brought about great change and gave freedom to many other countries around the globe, simply by existing. I also showed that it provided a path and paved the way through which a country could be an economic powerhouse without using military might and evil underhanded tactics to ruin a nation's people to bring benefit to others, like the European "empires" did commonly and regularly. Abraham Lincoln made America Honest in it's stance on freedom, although many Americans still clung to racism and segregation still, but the pathway had been opened up, and Abraham Lincoln was part of that path and History. And it was a horrible condemnation upon those who supported the man who murdered him in cold blood for their support of those who would continue to bring misery and pain upon others. John Wilks Booth is a man who to this very moment suffers under the buffeting of the devil for his horrible action of murdering the President of The United States Of America, and the very act of it stands in opposition to everything the U.S. Constitution stands for, and places himself and all others who are guilty of such an atrocity, are sent straight to hell for the USA is a nation created by God Himself. Think long and hard on this thought, for God will not allow his work to be destroyed, and what God Creates, no man shall tear asunder. May the United States of America continue to stand for Freedom and champion the oppressed and may all who seek to use the power of the USA government for nefarious purposes fail and never prosper!

What a great and wonderful man Abraham Lincoln was. He personifies our Nation’s ideals.
His eyes are a window to his soul. Such empathy
I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said “ The greatness of a nation can be judged by how its animals are treated “ I think he was a very honest empathetic human being. ❤️
@@sunnydaze2359 No, that was actually Ghandi who said that, just fyi.😎
"I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races ... I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
Yeah loads of empathy
The last was his corpse. He lived for many agonizingly hours and became gaunt and drawn. So sad because his death left a great void that opened up Jim Crow laws. Imagine how much further he could’ve gone in the fight for equality.
There's been a lot of history about President Lincoln that has been suppressed. He wasn't the big champion for the black people as much as he has been portrayed nor was he as honest as he has been portrayed either. Still a great American leader.
Mr. Lincoln suffered greatly from depression but as a God fearing man was a great president..
And he was able to keep his depression at bay for the most part. He had every reason to be depressed as many people suffer in their lives. It's a part of the human condition.
Not connected to what you wrote, but I think he was more handsome without the beard. I wonder what Mary's opinion was.
Lincoln was not married in a church.
The Life and Character of
Abraham Lincoln
by
Hon. George L. Christian
LINCOLN NOT A CHRISTIAN
One of the commonest, and one of the most attractive, claims now asserted by the admirers of Mr. Lincoln is, that he was a pious man and a Christian. Lamon tells us after his assassination he was compared to the Savior and Redeemer of mankind. One of his reverend admirers compares his assassination to the crucifixion of our Lord; and since both of these events occurred on Good Friday, the writer says "even the day was fit." But since Mr. Lincoln's "taking off" was in a theater, it may be noted that this fanatical divine says nothing as to the fitness of the place at which the "taking off" occurred.
Another divine, in an oration delivered this year on the centennial anniversary of Mr. Lincoln's birth, begins it with the words: "There was a man sent from God whose name was Abraham Lincoln.' He then speaks of him as being "like unto Melchizedek," and as the "one great man, and mystery and miracle of the nineteenth century."
It seems to us that the real mystery here is the fact that any one anywhere should be so foolish in this enlightened age as to suppose he can make sensible people swallow any such twaddle, nonsense and sacrilege as this.
Herndon says of Mr. Lincoln's alleged Christianity:
Lincoln was a deep-grounded infidel. He disliked and despised churches. He never entered a church except to scoff and ridicule. On coming from a church he would mimic the preacher. Before running for any office, he wrote a book against Christianity and the Bible. He showed it to some friends and read extracts. A man named Hill was greatly shocked and urged Lincoln not publish it; urged it would kill him politically. Hill got this book in his hands, opened the stove door, and it went up in flames and ashes. After that Lincoln became more discreet, and when running for office often used words and phrases to make it appear that he was a Christian. he never changed on this subject; he lived and died a deep-grounded infidel (Facts and Falsehoods, p. 53; see also Lamon, pp. 489-493).
Lamon says:
Mr. Lincoln was never a member of any church, nor did he believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures in the sense understood by evangelical Christians.... Overwhelming testimony out of many mouths, and none more stronger than out of his own, place these facts beyond controversy.... when he went to church at all, he went to mock, and came away to mimic (Lamon, pp. 486-487)
Lamon further says:
It was not until after Mr. Lincoln's death that his alleged orthodoxy became the principal topic of his eulogists; but since then the effort on the part of some political writers and speakers to impress the public mind erroneously seems to have been general and systematic (ibid., p. 487).
He then inserts the letters of a number of Mr. Lincoln's closest friends and neighbors, all of whom fully sustain his statements. One of these says : "Lincoln went further against Christian beliefs and doctrines and principles than any man I ever heard. He shocked me" (ibid., p. 488)
Another (Herndon) says: Lincoln told me a thousand times that he did not believe the Bible was a revelation from God as the Christian world contends.... And that Jesus was not the Son of God (ibid., p. 489).
Another (Judge David Davis) says: "He had no faith, in the Christian sense of the term" (ibid. p. 489)
Lamon then quotes Mrs. Lincoln as saying: "Mr. Lincoln had no hope and no faith, in the usual acceptance of those words" (ibid. p. 489)
And Mr. Nicolay, Lincoln's private secretary, as saying: "Mr. Lincoln did not, to my knowledge, in any way change his religious views, opinions or beliefs from the time he left Springfield to the day of his death" (ibid. p. 492)
It seems to us that these statements from these sources ought to settle this question, and that it is wrong, and nothing short of an outrage on the truth of history to assert that Mr. Lincoln was, or ever claimed to be, a Christian; that such an assertion can only reflect on those who make it, and must bring upon them the application of the maxim, falsus in uno falsus in omnibus; for surely those who are so reckless as to misrepresent a fact of this nature will not hesitate to misrepresent any other fact that is suits them to misrepresent or misstate.
He was a horrible man

@@patrickadams6762 Did what?
There are two historical items about Abraham Lincoln that I find particularly interesting. The first is that there's an episode of the TV program "I've Got a Secret" in which the secret teller was a 95 or so year-old man. His secret, which the panel guessed, was that he was the last person alive to have been at Ford's Theater on the night of Lincoln's assassination. The TV show aired in 1955; he had been born in 1860. So he was 5 years old when his mother and his nanny went to the theater and took him along. I'm sure that he didn't want to see a play, but he went where mommy and nanny went, so he was in the theater when the bullet was fired and the cry went up, "The President's been shot!" To think that someone who had been at the theater in 1865 was still around in 1955 is something amazing to me.
The second item is that there is a photograph of Lincoln's funeral procession in New York City, one of the stops that the funeral train made on its way to Springfield, Illinois. As the procession is passing a mansion on the main street, a face can be seen looking out a second or third story window. The face is that of little Teddy Roosevelt, who was 9 years old at the time. So a future President got to see the recently deceased President in an amazing photographic coincidence. As far as I know, the photograph has been authenticated; truly a photograph for the ages.
He was a great man. Under him we redefined our Union. 158 years later we are in a struggle to redefine our Union again. When 45 compares himself to Lincoln, it rankles my spine.
He looks guant, hardened in life, but handsome just the same.
It's funny because many people have made the comment that they don't understand why some people talk about him being a good looking man or especially when the conversation and text talks about him with Mary Todd. The fact of the matter is it's the way he treated that woman and the love he had for her considering that she wasn't a beauty queen and that was something that's been said of her not something I'm saying to be rude but if you see the photos of her she's not a bombshell she wasn't a stunning woman she was an average I hesitate to use the word homely but I would probably use that word to describe myself there's nothing outstanding about me I'm just an average person if you pass me on the street you probably wouldn't do a double-take I'm just an average looking person but it's the way he treated her like she was Marilyn Monroe like she was the most stunning creature in the world that makes him sexy and that makes him handsome and that's what makes any man no matter what his physical features are sexy and handsome and desirable is the way he treats his woman and of course his mother but there's a fine line between treating your mother well and being Norman Bates and a mama's boy so you young man growing up need to learn that is a major turnoff when we feel like we're competing for you with your mother
One of the most fascinating stories about Lincoln: on a trip on a train, one of his sons was crossing between cars on the train and slipped and fell down under the train. He was holding on to something somehow, but a stranger's hand reached down from the platform above and pulled him back into the train.The stranger was the older brother of John Wilkes Booth! I saw this on the History Channel when it still had something to do with "history".
Yes I remember the History Channel when they actually talked about history. Now it is just about ancient alien astronauts and reality shows about red necks in the woods yelling at each other.
History is what the person writing it says and the persons around him let him say.
damn, i miss the old history channel
@@pittbullking87 now it's the used to be history channel
I read this somewhere. Oh yeah, about six entries up in this comment section...
Had a neighbor in the late 1990s in Savannah, a retired English teacher around 90 years old or so, very Victorian. She told me that her grandfather was a judge in South Carolina. He was also a student at Washington Univ, soon to be Washington & Lee Univ in Virginia, just after the Civil War. Her grandfather was a bit mischievous and was called to the headmaster's office for discipline. The headmaster was Robert E. Lee. He asked if the student had anything to say to explain his behavior. According to my elderly neighbor, he said "General my excuse is that I’m a South Carolinan." Meaning the guys that fired the first shot of the war at Fort Sumter. The story also goes that both he and the general had a good laugh about it. History is fascinating
Wow! I bet she had some stories indeed.
Lincoln was the leader of the hearts of not only America, but all of humanity. He was one of the most precious sons of humanity, an exemplary person, a prophet. Even though his body was destroyed by a jerk, he will live in our hearts forever with his perfect personality, honorable struggle and endless humanity!.
No, he was not. He was a evil tyrant.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic I am a Turk. However, I have great respect for Abraham Lincoln. He is one of the most valuable children of not only the American society, but also all of humanity, who should be honored with his existence. His response to slavery, his love of animals, his deep love and commitment to justice and mercy, and his He is a valuable elder of all of us and a monument of humanity that should be taken as an example, with his humane and upright and honorable stance against all negativities, as if he were a prophet. His name will live in our hearts forever, our children will be inspired by him, and the torch of humanity in his hands will illuminate the path of all humanity forever!
@@irfanimp he was a horrible president and destroyed everything Washington built
My family is related to Lincoln through his great grandmother on the Hanks' side of the family. Through his father's side, he was related to Daniel Boone. My older brother's best friend in high school was surnamed Booth, related by blood to John Wilkes, and the handsome spitting image. He passed a few years ago. Lincoln’s body was exhumed in the 1920’s. A photo of the body was taken at that time. Thank you for not including it here. It is a haunting photo that I wish I could unsee.
My Great Grandfather used to wrestle Lincoln in mud pits. They would go and go, until somebody slide their member into the others greedy dirt hole.... then they would just bang away at each other for hours, shooting rope all over each other- Lincoln liked taking face shots and would wipe it off his face down to his chin, which is where he got the idea for the beard he was so known for. Apparently, their squeals could be heard for miles. The constant rectal poundings is what lead to my grandfather and Lincoln's famous nickname- "Ol' Shit Stick Adams" and "Gaping Abe". My other Great Grandaddy and John Wilkes Booth were know to hold parties together every weekend known as "Festive Hand Eye and Pud Group Jamborees" where men from all around would show up and jerk each other off while never breaking eye contact and making the sound of their favorite animal. This was how Booth was able to gain access to Lincoln in Fords Theater so easily, everybody there had stared into his eyes while jerking him off and mooing or clucking or barking etc.. so he was known and trusted by everybody there. So much history involves guys touching other guys cocks, but we never learn about it..... such a shame.
Someone in your family is pulling your leg. The last person related to Abraham Lincoln was Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, who died in 1985. He had no children so the lineage died with him. Anyone else out there is so far removed, they are not considered to be related. :)

Skepticism is a virtue.
That last photo MOST DEFINITELY is NOT Lincoln! For one thing, no photographers were allowed in the death room at the Peterson house. Also, Abe never opened his eyes after he was shot!
The last photo as hard as its to believe is legit. There was a documentary and news stories about it a couple yrs ago so yea i was skeptical also till the facts were presented and whether you believe it or not according to those in the know its definitely real its a pic of him after he died before he was moved and if i remember right it was taken by well known photographer of the time and hidden like u said it was against the law for it to exist. He looks weird cause the ball is lodged behind the eye thats poking out and his face is disfigured cause of it. Dont believe me look it up its legit
Thank You for an excellent video.
Very informative & I love your usage of the photos that actually seem to breathe life into history.
As a Maryland native it caught my attention that you mispronounced Antietam & Potomac Given that the Battle of Antietam (Also known as The Battle of Sharpsburg) & Potomac have such historical significance that you may want to make a future video on them I'll help you. Many of our words in this region are from the Native Americans, we can't use rules of English phonics for those.
Antietam is one of them so it's often mispronounced.
It's actually (An-tee-tum) or (An-tee-tem) the difference in pronunciation between those 2 generally is the 2nd one has more of the local watermen inflection on the end.
The Battle of Potomac (Po-toe-mac)
or locally with the Waterman inflection it's (Pa-toe-mic)
The computer voices extremely annoying.
Well said concerning pronunciations, however I would also include where the accents lay within these tricky word by using CAP- i - tal letters to indicate which syllable receives the accent.
@@musictheoryforeveryone7938 It's on the second syllable in both.

Excellent video, well narrated, interesting animated photos. Wish more presidents like him existed today - many countries are in dire need of someone like Lincoln.
I've always admired Lincoln, not because he signed the Emancipation Proclaimation, or gave the Gettysburg address or fought the Civil was, but because he did everything he did as while coming from a life filled with poverty, illness, depression, and most especially the grief that stemmed from the death of Anne Rutledge, the love his life, and his son. Anybody can succeed as the son of a mega-millionaire. He did it growing up in a very poor family living rough and working under conditions that were "little better than an ox".

Most people were poor then
The man in the photo is somewhat ‘upright.’ Lincoln reportedly never regained consciousness after being shot & was “surgically” sounded by the doctors looking for the bullet in his head to extract it, which procedure would surely have left him in no condition to be posed. His photo in his casket shows his hair to have been left intact at his funeral.
The surgeons probed for the bullet with what looked like a knitting needle-these probes were common instruments in surgeon kits during the Civil war. They were often used to locate bullets in wounded soldiers. But Lincoln was probed in the back of his head where the bullet entered, it wouldn't have left any marks on his face. In this pic you can see the right eye is dilated and somewhat bloodshot from the impact inside his head of the bullet-the bullet resided right behind Lincoln's eye. I also see puffiness around that eye socket which you would expect with that type of wound. The face doesn't have the aged appearance Lincoln showed in this last years, which causes me some doubt as to it's authenticity. The nose shape is also different. It MAY be Lincoln, but I suspect not. Clever fake if it is.
The nose jumped out at me right away. And the hair loss. I’ve never read that his hair was removed. I’ve. My ever read about the probing of the wound as you outlined. I think you’re right.
Honestly, the man in that picture looks more like Jefferson Davis than President Lincoln to me.
Maybe he'll come back with JFK Jr. and tell us all who the man in the photo is?! Or, shut up.
These people that become presidents all end up looking so old in just four years
Because back thin they actually tried work for the people.
My fave Lincoln story is when he arrived at a cabinet meeting one morning wearing a pink corset. Edwin Stanton cried out, "Mr. President, how long have you been wearing that?" Lincoln, ever the wit, replied, "Ever since Mary found it in my buggy."

Lincoln was a lawyer’s lawyer. There’s a lawyer story about Lincoln when he represented a railroad. In the morning he argued a case before a judge, and the court ruled in his favor. In the afternoon he was presented with an identical fact situation, and this time he was representing the opposing side of the issue. The court said to Lincoln, “Mr. Lincoln, didn’t you argue just the opposite before this court this morning, and didn’t this court rule in your favor”? Lincoln replied that the court was correct. The court then asked Lincoln why should it rule in his favor now? Lincoln said, “this morning I was wrong, your honor.” The court ruled In Lincoln’s favor in the afternoon case, too. BTW, the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, four years after Lincoln died.

Made me think they weren't real pics, but a dirty down lying prank.
An interesting thing about his some Robert Todd is that over the span of 36 years he was personally connected to three presidential assassinations. His father was assassinated, he was secretary of war under Garfield and was at the train station close by to where he was shot. He was in Buffalo when McKinley was shot and actually visited him a couple days after and within a week the president had died from infection.
His last ever public appearance was in 1922 when he met Harding for the dedication of Lincoln memorial.(who died months later)
Wth? that is pretty weird
both Garfield and McKinley could of lived but Doctors made mistakes which caused infections and they died. Interesting fact about Robert Todd. Robert lived to an ripe old age.

Really glad to see these types of videos. Such a shame that our history isn’t properly taught in schools anymore. I saw a journalist question people in the streets on Abe Lincoln. It was astonishing how little anyone knew. Furthermore, most were certain he was a democrat & that republicans were the party of slavery (which was the complete opposite) Lincoln fought hard for freedom & It is because of him that we turned a corner on slavery. I cannot imagine the stress this man endured presiding during the civil war.
I read that Lincoln was a large man and very strong, someone you didn't want to mess with.

He also killed Vampires using only
a ax..

My fathers family is linked with Lincoln, I have an Uncle (back then) Who was married to Betsy Sparrow who was an Aunt to Nancy Hanks, they lived one mile from the Lincoln cabin where Abe was born. Betsy Sparrow was one of the midwives that delivered Lincoln.
The issue I have with the final photo is there is more of his beard! If you look at the last known picture of Lincoln alive he more of a goatee than a full beard. It could be the way this picture is produced though (death image) because it definitely looks like him. Just a thought though. Good video, I am a Lincoln fan and have read much about him. I also study genealogy and am doing my family. During my childhood I had heard stories that our family was related to him, this and then reading one day seeing my last name in Carl Sandburgs The Prairie Years, I have an uncommon last name! This fired up my desire to learn my families history and 40 years plus later I am still digging. I was able to link that last name to mine.
Mary Ann Sparrow, who was a half-sister to Nancy Hanks, is George Clooney's gggrandmother.
I would venture to say that slaves were "the number one enemy against slavery," but I respect Lincoln's strength. Unlike today's politicians, he made a tough decision knowing it would come at great personal cost.
If only we acted with such heart, spoke with such honest and carried out with such conviction today. It’s been a long time since America can say this.
And have Native Americans slaughter? Lincoln was no saint.
Can you imagine it happening today, all crooks & thieves
Lincoln got what he DESERVED! He should have kept his nose out of the South's business and let it stay the Confederacy! John Wilkes Booth is a true Southern HERO!
didn't know people like you still existed in the 21st century. What a rare speciment of a true racist
I'm not sure why anyone would think that final picture was Lincoln after death. There are so many differences between this man and Lincoln - the eyebrows, the area between the eyebrows, the nose, the ears, the sideburns and cheek whiskers.... also Lincoln had poker straight spiky hair and the unfortunate gentleman in that picture has soft curly hair that was laying down across his forehead.
Lincoln's face looked gaunt and haggard not rounded. why would the undertaker/barber cut his hair and beard so short . There is a death mask of Lincoln's face which does not look at all like this picture. www.google.com/search?q=lincoln+death+mask&oq=lincoln+death&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgDEAAYgAQyDwgAEEUYORiDARixAxiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABNIBCTEwNTQ0ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

There were several rare photos in the video.

Know little about him and his life story. But just a look at his photo commands respect for him. Looks full of humanity.
As a teacher, I’m scratching my head over the pronunciations of Antietam and Potomac in this video. Those are important places to our country’s history and basic details to attend to if you’re going to produce a video about those times/places. Give it a quick Google. 😉
My family on my mother's side has done genealogy up to biblical . An on our papers of ancestry we are related to Abraham Lincoln an Benjamin's Franklin an down the line other famous ppl through out our history. I've loved Abraham Lincoln since I was a young girl when we were learning of him an our history of our country an important ppl . I'm so proud . God bless
My former neighbor said that Lincolns second wife was from my neighbors family !
Back to biblical times, huh? Really? I call bullshit.
Big deal we are all related to Noah & Adam & Eve😄
Loved him since childhood also. An amazing life in spite of hardships.
There is actually a single surviving picture of Abe Lincoln lying in state after his death at the rotunda of New York's City Hall. Lincoln's body was displayed in many locations before his funeral. While photographers were banned, just before the viewing of his body was open to the public, a general in attendance allowed a local photographer to take a series of photographs to document the historical event. Outraged, the family and friends of Lincoln demanded the images and plates be destroyed. Only one print survived and was re-discovered in 1952. This is now the last known authentic photograph of Abraham Lincoln.
All men were created equal, just not only in America!
It's fascinating how different he looks without the beard.
The office aged him like crazy
Typhoid, its said Lincoln had a bout with Yellow Fever. The Drinking water in the White House was horrendous.. His son Willie died from Fever.....associated with Yellow Fever. No Study of Germs in 19th century,, . This aged Lincoln considerably ..
This generally applies to most Presidents right up until today. Look at comparative photo's of Clinton and Obama for example at their inauguration and the day they retired. The job certainly takes its toll.

That last "death bed" photo is not Lincoln, the nose (and bridge of nose) is all wrong, the hair is too wispy, the beard is all wrong as well. The poor guy in the bed has the classic Amish style beard from ear to ear wherein Lincoln's beard was cropped to the chin and bare cheeked at the sides. And no man can grow beard hair that long only 4 days afterwards. So, it's a resounding "No" to that last photo.
Yep, the beard dissimilarity gives it away.
I didn't think it was him, right away. I've never seen the photo before, but it just doesn't ring true to me. I know people do not look "the same" when they are near death or dead, but it just is a "nope" for me.
The photo is not Lincoln.
@@christopherarnett2851 100% Agree!!
I've seen another photo that purports to be Lincoln on his death bed & it looks a lot more authentic than this.
The man in the photo looks about 20 years younger than Lincoln & his beard is twice as bushy. There’s no way it’s authentic.
It is real
I was about to comment the same. However, I paused it and am really studying the photo. The hair on beard is going East-west, north-south, as if it’s put on his face, not naturally grown. Look at his hairline, it looks as if beard was made from his hairline.
Earlier in video it’s stated that a picture was made 4 days before his passing. That picture had smallest version of Lincoln beard. There’s a lot that doesn’t add up with the last pic for sure. Nose and scar looks correct, but his ear doesn’t. Pillow may have ear folded down.
@@willieperkins1078 Its a real photo that's for sure,...just not of Lincoln.
@@willieperkins1078 Not real. Lincoln's face was almost beardless when he was killed.
Very interesting and I enjoyed watching it,thanks for sharing this.
Lincoln got "A house divided against itself cannot stand" from the New Testament. He had a great deal of Biblical knowledge.
The death bed photo looks like Jefferson Davis, not Lincoln.
definitely not Lincolns nose
Not his eyes nor his wrinkles…
Jefferson Davis lived to be an old man.
Where are Abe's thick eyebrows?
I pulled up a picture of Jefferson Davis and you are right. It looks just like him!
I realize that the guy narrating this video is not a native American speaker, but his pronunciation of key words really needs work, e.g., an-TIGHT-em, POT-o-mac, John mac-LEN-ard (it clearly says McClernand), BAL (rhymes with pal) tim-ore. These are central places and people.
I agree--pronunciation, especially of proper names needs work.
It's because young people don't learn about anything completely anymore just snippets of facts on internet not knowing its a French word ect...
I really believe that it's a computer generated voice.
@@bradwilliams7145 definitely
@@bradwilliams7145 For sure. And there are a LOT of videos out there with CG voices with incorrect pronunciations. Can't anyone do voiceover work anymore?
Thank God for Abraham Lincoln!
"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it" -Abraham Lincoln
My Great Grandfather was a mortician, he helped move Lincoln to his final resting place. He viewed him and his son both. He said the son looked very good but Abe had turned a bronze color and not in good condition.
Though this photo was documented as being Lincoln, the nose and the gauntness of the face show a person that might have not eaten very much. I once owned a rare photograph of Lincoln and his law partner Herndon, it burned up in what I suspect was an arsenists fire. It might have even been stolen and may possibly still exist somewhere. i still have photographs of the rare photograph which were done by Stephen H. Waite from Boston who later moved to Emporia, Kansas and died there. I had done considerable research and nardowed down the time to within two hours of when it was accomplished, even documenting Lincoln's visit to Boston. The photo was part of an effort to make Lincoln look more acceptable to the voting public in his first run for the Presidency. I had shown these two life size portraits to Robert Evans and also to the Lincoln Studio, whose owner became famous as a Lincoln expert and published a book of Lincoln's photos, Lloyd Ostendorf, may he rest in peace. Evans was a collector of Lincoln memorabilia and things that belonged to Lincoln, in fact he was the largest collector of such in the world at one time. My photos were being prepped for shipping to an auction house when the fire hit. I also had a rare Teddy Roosevelt photo as well. Well, thank you for presenting this video. It sparked old memories. Again, thanks !
Wow, how did you acquire them ?
My grandmother as a little girl lived in Nixon TN (now called Pyburn or Pyburn Bluffs or even Pickwick) it was about 2 miles from Pickwick Dam. Anyway, she always said in the attic we’re letters from Lincoln. The trunk they were in when moving was the only thing missing after the move.
I love old photos.
An interesting presentation, but the incessant mispronunciations of key names and locations do it no favors. One might forgive these as computer-generated errors, but here's something I would deem totally unforgivable: When the Lincoln-McClellan photo transposes from b&w to color at the 5:00 mark, it appears the U.S. flag is on the table directly to the side of Abe ... and then the stripes turn into BLUE color. As I would hope even today's schoolchildren would know, that's NOT the color of the stripes on our flag. But maybe it's just me being ultra-critical?
No, it is just a poorly done suck in.
You’re not too critical. Very annoying mispronunciations. Cannot believe the death bed picture is real. Who would be allowed to drag a big camera into the deathroom at that moment. It’s not like they had cameras that could be concealed. Most annoying!
I told my 14 year old son to ask questions of his elders. My grandparents on my dad’s side were immigrants to Canada from what was Czechoslovakia at the time. My grandparents were matched and depending on who you ask, fell in love or were pushed together to satisfy their parents need to maintain the ways and lives in the old country. 11 years younger than my grandfather, my grandmother was a beautiful woman who was beyond devoutly Catholic and did not like to speak of herself. My father has told me many stories of his youth with his grandparents on their farm and when we had our most recent family reunion (a quiet 120 people, usually it’s about double of that! Huge Catholic families, eh?😂), it was a blow to see how my great aunts and uncles had been deceased, one had dementia and could not even remember his favourite nephew, my father, and several more have perished since that reunion.
I took the opportunity to ask and ask and ask. This year, we’re flying from my home in the U.K., and taking my son (who splits his time between the countries) on a cross Canada road trip to show him that beautiful land and to take him to visit my great aunt….my favourite great aunt who is a ringer for my deceased and adored/beloved paternal grandmother, with whom I have a close relationship. She is terminally ill, her and her husband and her son, my second cousin has them living in an apartment in the house they built in British Columbia.
I have compiled photos and stories to tell my son on the long drive to BC from Ontario, and I intend to ask and video everything when I speak to my beloved aunt.
History is written by the victors, but we sometimes forget that as important a politician who shaped the nation, a star who revolutionised their art, such as a singer or painter, martyrs and the important people of history lived amongst those whose names and stories have been forgotten.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but Lincoln or Washington did not act alone. They were aided and influenced like any person who lives their lives. They met people who shaped their ideas and talent, they were supported in very menial ways, from the slaves that ironed Washington’s sheets, to those that risked their lives to hand communications to the leaders of the revolutionary war that helped them act on strategy.
You see, history is painted with many brushes. Everyone has a picture in their head of what happened and witnesses perceived those victors of history in many different ways and had many different relationships with those who we choose to write about in a those history texts.
What I’ve learned, is that every life is important. As long as the memory of someone is kept alive, their contribution to history cannot be overlooked. My maiden name means “cooper” or “barrel maker”, which means my family at some point were given the name to denote their own contributions. The barrels that were made to ferment and store alcohol, to barrels full of what was reaped from the fields and barns and through trade to feed and store those items necessary to survival.
As a horseback rider, we have a common saying, that is, “no foot, no horse”. Meaning a lame horse cannot be of use to the rider or pull a sulky or plow a field. It’s those forgotten names and stories that meant that these victors of history could do what they could do.
Washington in particular was inventive and creative and always tried to improve the methods of how he plowed, planted, reaped and kept his land. He had distilleries and invented a 16 sided barn that had horses treading on wheat to separate the chaff and stalks and made his mill big enough that neighbours would hire it to process their bounty for the year.
He also held slaves. But he recognised their importance and in his will, he stipulated that upon Martha’s death, his slaves (approximately 1/3 of the slaves he owned) were to be freed. Those who were elderly or incapacitated were to be taken care of and given a stipend to live off of. Those young enough would be educated and learn to read and write and were taught skills and trades in order to support themselves in the world.
The other 2/3 of his slaves were part of the inheritance that his wife Martha received upon the death of her first husband. Known as the Custis slaves, upon Martha’s death, were distributed amongst her beneficiaries, much to the dismay of Washington himself, not being able to legally emancipate those in his employ.
He had compassion too; when there became periods of time where there simply wasn’t enough work to engage all the slaves in a trade or a job, he refused to sell them, because he did not want to break families up.
Was he wrong for owning slaves ? Contemporary opinion and human decency and our morals and ethics dictate that the ownership of a human being is abhorrent and wrong, but I found it interesting that in Washington’s recognition to the contributions made by his slaves enabled him to defy what was the normal practice at the time, and made the choice to set them free and ensure they were given enough education to have a trade to ply to support themselves.
At the time, slaves were not permitted to sit in the presence of their owner(s)/master(s), but Washington’s valet, who only a month before his death, tried to runaway, was permitted and encouraged to be at his bedside, and when Washington saw his valet, standing for hours after having ridden with him during the storm that triggered his Epiglottitis that would ultimately take his life, he motioned for him to sit and rest; well aware of his own exhaustion.
So you see, whether a person who has long been forgotten and lost to the annals of history, and were simply a slave, a housewife, a friend or soldier, these roles were essential and contributed to the great men and women that live on in our history books.
Next time you read about an important figure from history, just remember that their importance and good work were no less or no more important than those who helped shape that figure, enabling and influencing them to become the revered or in some sad cases, the condemned for their acts (like the assassin of Lincoln or JFK) and they would never have been what they were without those that they chose to surround themselves with.
One day my name will be like a scribble in the sand on the beach, until the waves of time washes my life away. This is the case for most of us who were not generals or presidents or prolific criminals and some of them are kept alive simply by orating their history between generations.
Talk to your elders. Do a DNA test kit and research your past. Keep the history alive and remember that as useless, small or insignificant we convince ourselves that we are on our bad days, that our mere existence is a miracle of life and science and we are born of the love of those who came before us.
We were held after birth, kissed and were given a moniker - a name - carefully chosen by our parent(s)/family, and in some cases our names are a link to our past as well. My middle name is the same middle name that my mother has, just as her mother did and so on (even though my grandparents adopted my mother and had no blood ties to her). The first born daughter is always given the middle name of Elizabeth.
That in itself is keeping the history of some remarkable, yet completely transparent and unremarkable to history women who made their own marks in the world.
It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes every single person in the world to shape it and how we live. Talk to your family and elders and keep those names alive, and their memories. ❤

It's said that a young girl told Abraham Lincoln, that he should grow a beard to make him appear more imposing to his opponents in office.
When you talk about his looks, how many presidents have been good looking? And life on farms back then aged men and women prematurely.
Not many by the time they became presidents. Some were nice looking as younger men
Actually I think there were quite a few who were quite good looking. Ronald Regan, George Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton.

@@sunnydaze2359 the ones you mentioned are modern-day Presidents, and they aged quite differently than their 19th Century predecessors, which with a few exceptions, were raised either on farms or, like Jackson and Lincoln, in the back woods of Kentucky and Tennessee.
I have always thought Lincoln to be a handsome man. When I was at his statue I climbed up and gave it a kiss on the cheek. The guard turned his back
