I saw Brother Holland at the St George Tabernacle around 2012 give an extended version of this speech. It was wonderful. Thanks so much. These words are more relevant in 2021 than ever.
Lincoln was a great leader. He did his level best to maintain the Government while staying within it's Constitutional bounds as best he could....even when it was against his moral belief slavery was wrong. I still admire Gen. Fremont a great deal, he made war on Missouri and armed it's slaves to help him fight the Rebels ! ( against orders even ) Fremont was for Freedom...period.
I occasionally watch this, if for one reason alone, to remind myself as a leader that you can endure all manner of difficulty, but to also remember that in doing so you, yourself, have strength if you have moral purpose. It’s a really good talk.
This has been a very incredible inauguration it shows how God was in Lincoln's life throughout his whole life thank you Mr Holland for giving this it has been absolutely wonderful
Great presentation! Not to take anything away from Lincoln’s ‘moral imagination’ and his leadership, there was a precedent! In fact, a precedent which had been a point of deliberation for the Founders: Cyrus, the Persian King, in Xenophon’s Cyropaedia and the treatment of the vanquished-among other issues!
On the 20th of July , 1500, Queen Isabella of Castile forbade slavery in the new territories discovered by Christopher Columbus, protecting the Indians from abuse. She reiterated in her will that the Indians were subjects of the crown of Castile with full rights. I bet Lincoln and Queen Isabella would have been good friends, if they had had the chance to meet.
Am I one of the few people who thinks he was attractive? Especially pre-Civil War. He aged drastically during the war. His attractiveness is always tied in with who he was as a person sadly.
Arch not so much the party but the man. A Lincoln does not exist today. Lincoln left it to the country to get its act together; yet the country is still fragmented. Guess ya gotta go with the evidence.
Trump is putting colored people in cages. Lincoln was quite literally freeing colored people from cages. And yet Trump is his equal somehow? I don't think so.
Lincoln has a bad rap with the Natives. Killed quite a few of them. And on his monument he says his goal is to maintain the union, whether that be by keeping slavery or ending slavery. But we're white here so let's ignore that part and focus on how we saved the enslaved world from ourselves.
The “natives” were men, too and shed their quota of blood. The most praised Iroquois used Dutch guns to establish their own empire. resorted to enlavement of genocide of others. The Comanche were as brutal as any warriors that even lived.
"I cannot think of a more timely and needed message for our day." Thank you, Mr. Holland.
Amen!
We need this message even more 2022, the struggle is still evident.

Angels have walked amongst us and have asserted God's will. Abraham Lincoln was one.

8:35 Which has unfortunately been a human practice long before the U.S. existed and also among African and Asian nations.
Moral Guilt is the reason! Not moral imagination!
What kind of moral guilt?

@Sushi Sandwiches not really that simple
Trump is experiencing what Lincoln experienced. Trump is the modern-day Lincoln.
There is only one part of Lincoln's Presidency that I hope Trump replicates.
I would respectfully say...not even close
Trump is putting colored people in cages. Lincoln was quite literally freeing colored people from cages. And yet Trump is his equal somehow? I don't think so.
He's gone
Hahahaha 😂
Trump itself even has said he is no Lincoln, how brainwashed you people are. 😅

He didn't want to Abolish the slaves at first because he knows someday it will naturally die out. He just don't want to expand it
