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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
