How Lincoln Changed the World in Two Minutes | 5 Minute Video

old Abe had to deal with a country in separation given to him with his generals and men they did a right

War criminal who caused the death of 600,000 men.

The American Civil War: When Democrats were so furious that Republicans tried to take their slaves away that they fought the bloodiest American war ever.

Thank you¡¡

I'm sure this is considered way too woke. “The proposition that all men are created equal.” Sounds a bit too much like Equity and Inclusion, right? I haven't even gotten to the Diversity part yet.

Lincoln speech a gettysburg address,, the point of that words is That All Men Are Created Equal, it's mean for All American People or for the Next Generation shall have a Freedom and Equal change race it same before the law and presence to the God. and the last part of gettysburg address Lincoln speech And That Government of the People, by the People, for the People. Shall Not Perish from the Earth,, that is an understanding of Guided Democracy but Not Tyranny.

I wish we had a President like Lincoln for the last 4 yrs 😉

This content reminds me of my highschool adviser the beautiful and brainy Ms .Maryjane Bugas.

Lincoln did not want a civil war.

"All we ask is to be left alone"
President Jefferson Davis.

19 years before my maternal grandfather was born....

"government of the people, by the people, for the people,"...unless they vote for secession. Then it's government from the barrel of a gun.

Dr. King’s famous speech at the Lincoln Memorial was in large measure based on Lincoln’s famous speech.

President Lincoln was a Republican. This is why I'm a Republican.

The Gettysburg Address was the most dishonest and evil thing ever articulated by an American president. It basically asserts that the federal government has no constitutional restraints on killing anyone who does not consent to its supreme authority. Because equality. We were never actually dedicated to any such proposition. That was a lie to get around any actual constitutional restraints on his power.

Wish you here, Abe, we could use your wisdom.

Magnificent

the founding fathers...wow...the constitution...the greatest words and guidelines man has ever put together...wow...the man who saved the constitution and the country...wow...for such a young country...to contribute so much to the world...wow...brings a tear to my heart for pride and love...we are so lucky to be here...love...love...

Good reading skill. History is hard

Let this be the answer to and payment to anyone's reparation of the United States of America

"But let us not forget that it is oratory, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it! Put it into the cold words of everyday! The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination — “that government of the people, by the people, for the people,” should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i. e., of the people of the States? The Confederates went into battle an absolutely free people; they came out with their freedom subject to the supervision and vote of the rest of the country—and for nearly twenty years that vote was so effective that they enjoyed scarcely any freedom at all. Am I the first American to note the fundamental nonsensicality of the Gettysburg address? If so, I plead my aesthetic joy in it in amelioration of the sacrilege."

--H.L. Mencken

Lincoln was espousing the Union's values, but I wonder how many noticed that when he speaks of the soldiers, he does not specify Union soldiers only, and therefore, the Confederate soldiers are included in the consecration.

Lincoln was a racist tyrant. Sorry. He oversaw the deaths of 500,000 Americans. Epic fail.

We need Lincoln back...but Trudeau would call his unmarked un thugs in riot gear against him.

This guy is full of shit. The founding fathers were slave owners.

ok

2 minute speach is all you need. These politicians are so full of themselves today

I 'm having a moment now. This moved me a great deal.

this is a little misleading. Abe is specifically referring to union soldiers, not confederate soldiers.

btw, Decent chance ole honest Abe was gay

"You got slaves? Why not get bitches?"

-Abraham Lincoln

I so much enjoy listening and reading re, American history and the prominent people who have shaped and created the foundations of American democracy. Admiration from the United Kingdom.

this is such a beautiful speach!

A phenomenal lesson in holding truth to power ... Well done , Good & Faithful Servant ❤️ Thank you !

Yo wtf I know that guy. He was my sunday school teacher at one point in Gettysburg lol

Fabulous ! Bravo

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell in the chorus of the Union, when again touched as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Why does he look like agent 47

Damn I’m lucky to Learn about abraham lincoln when I was in 4th grade I had to work alone

Now the nation is controlled by criminals and lyres!

"the struggle for liberty and equality continued..." Surprise😀Liberty and equality are not givens, no matter what was written in constitutions or in the Declaration of Human rights. Liberty and equality are the result of people efforts. And this result needs even more efforts. In other words, liberty and equality are a lifestyle, not a law procedure

Democrats do not want Americans to know that Abraham Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN who freed the slaves in the southern democrat states.

Prager you need to stop hiring people who follows a ideology. You’re not even the University this is the most famous speech but never change the world. Using linking to your advantage is shameful even Abraham Lincoln would say that this university is a disgrace.

Abraham Lincoln is by far one of the, if not, the best president ever, any my personal favorite. And the Gettysburg address is one of the best speeches ever

This video is excellent. It's even more apropos in 2021 that we relisten to the words of Lincoln as he spoke about civil war and the country getting ripped apart.

A great delivery
