I can't thank you enough for your very kind words. I am back at work on an all new video... and there's another one lined up after that.

Just as suggested at Lincoln’s death bed, this video belong to the ages as well.

I wish the history channel still did history documentaries!

He reminds me of the ‘Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford’ Narrator

The History Channel doesn’t do anything this good anymore.

Did he talk about how it was?

@@JohnBrewerly Yes, in a nutshell...he said Lincoln was recognizable though discolored like he was made of wood or wax. He admitted that he was afraid and that his mother strongly disapproved of his father's decision to take him along.

Lincoln was responsible for the the deaths of 650,000 people including 50,000 Southern civilians. The European countries ended slavery without killing anybody. He was no hero

Did you know Lincoln was the head of the group in ILL that wanted to send all blacks to Africa or South American? He continued his efforts until the day he was shot.

​@¹²1 e we❤e aaJohnBrewerly

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Amen

we are a republic, not a democracy. democracy is mob rule

❤

Well said

When I read this, I was thinking, "yeah right, I'm not gonna cry. " @ 30:20 I'm sitting here with tears pouring. 😭 My son died when he was 19, and even that is way too young.

Only widow not to receive her pension by a vote of Congress. She was far from Saintly.

There’s somebody who is completely against slavery, including the current slavery, which is worse than it was anytime during the slavery in America I am also somebody who is completely against Lincoln, because but we were taught in elementary and high school even in college is not the true Lincoln that the American people knew during the Civil War. The reason for this is because Lincoln would jail, anybody who wrote an article that even slightly looked down upon Lincoln yes, he would jail them. He also jailed the entire Maryland state Senate and I don’t mean just for a couple weeks he jailed these men for years! I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure Marilyn has a state, elect state representatives, and those state representatives vote for laws that benefit the citizens of Maryland, so tell me what Lincoln would jail the Maryland state Senate? I could go on for hours about the atrocities, and Lincoln pulled on American citizens during his time as president. Did you know that Lincoln often said that the Civil War was not fought to end slavery? Did you know that when he declared the emancipation proclamation, droves of men left the union army, because they were not fighting for the end of slavery, did you know that Lincoln was responsible for the killing of 400 United States citizens in New York City that ride rich people could buy their selves out of the draft, but normal citizens couldn’t so when people rioted Lincoln had them shot. Did you know that because how brutal Lincoln allowed the union army to be to the south that even the slaves voluntarily joined the southern army to fight against the union soldiers? Now don’t take my word on this do the research and see for yourself how you were lied to.

@@AdmiralPureBlood I definitely heard that info about Lincoln it’s hard to b lieve anyone anymore unbelievable

@@AdmiralPureBloodabsolutely correct.

​@GeneralPureBlood Easy there hero. I do not think this presentation ever touched on or was intended to touch on how controversial Lincoln was. What we view as controversial now doesn't mean it was controversial then. When looking at his views you'll have to separate Lincoln the person versus Lincoln the president. Lincoln the person did not like slavery. Lincoln the person also did not believe the "slaves" were equivalent in any aspect to the slave owners and would have been happy to ship them back to Africa. Lincoln the president was ambivalent at best with slavery. His main goal was preservation of the union. In fact the Emancipation proclamation was simply a war time tactic to keep European powers out of the Civil War. Noticed when the Emancipation proclamation was released? September 1862. Giving the rebellious states until January 1863 to stop fighting and bring themselves and their slaves back into the union.

@@AdmiralPureBlood , my husband is reading the book , ' The Real Abraham Lincoln ' @ this moment . Shocking !

Thank you so much for sharing your memories. I must have been a very special place to grow up in.

I grew up just a couple of blocks away, within walking distance. I feel privileged to grow up so close

I visited Lincoln’s Springfield home, and the Lincoln tomb. Oak Ridge Cemetery is a beautiful place.😊

Ever wonder why no one was there? visit LBJs grave and you will see the same thing, no one there.

@OcotillioTom. Our grandson, daughter and husband and I I recently went to Lincoln's tomb. A place of respect. The grounds and monuments are beautiful. The tomb was a place of reverence. As we stood there I thought of he man of history lay behind that thin layer of stone so close but divided by more than a century. I recommend a visit to all as well as the museum.

Lincoln was an atheist!! He was famous for making fun of Christians and making Jokes about them. His speeches were lies, just like political lies of today.

More tragedy than the over 750,000 deaths Lincoln caused, in his pursuit of a domineering central government??

Thank You so Much ❤ !!!

As a product of the northeast, I did not expect to feel as at ease as I did when I visited Springfield about 15 years ago. It is an interesting dichotomy where it feels like a small town although it is the capital of the state. I was there for a day in September and it was surprisingly quiet, hardly any tourists were at the cemetery. Lincoln has always been my personal favorite president since I learned at a fairly young age that he died on my birthday. Seeing his home, law office, old capitol, and tomb were incredibly humbling and worth every second. Just wish I had had enough time to visit the library…but gives me reason to go back!

A very good video excellently narrated xxxx

Not accurate at all. Lincoln was an atheist and famous for tormenting Christians with his jokes about Christ. Many modern scientists believe Lincoln was mentally ill. Of course you aren't going to hear about that in the NYT.

Similar story here. My niece, who lives in Austria, wanted her half Polish children to know something about their American bloodlines, so she started researching our families ancestry. Well, it turns out that my Tuskegee Airman Father (her maternal grandfather) is a 6 th cousin of President Lincoln through his mother's father, who was related to Abraham Lincoln's mother. I really get a kick out referring to President Lincoln as "Cousin Abe" in casual conversation with others!

He is a distant cousin to me through the wheeler so

My MIL was a distant relative. Her mother’s maiden name was Lincoln. I don’t anything more than that.

I've always found President Lincoln's history interesting. History was my favorite, still is and wars past and present ongoing. Some good some bad but I like to keep an open mind about everything I wasn't there for. In 2018 ancestry DNA test showed on my maternal family members results Abraham Lincoln is my 3 cousin 5th removed. Not direct but it's still the most fascinating thing next to the birth of my kids and grandkids 🙏🏼

@@Connie_From_AZ Having a kinship to Lincoln, close or distantly, is something anyone would be proud of. I've been interested in Lincoln's story since first learning about him as a child, especially since I lived less than an hours drive from where he grew up. Then, in the 60s, I found out through the Life magazine article that the last man to see Lincoln's face had the same last name as me. But, Lincoln's life and death is fascinating to people all over the world and, hopefully, always will be. It's disturbing that there's now an effort to rewrite history to eliminate or sanitize the uglier chapters ( the Holocaust, the unspeakable brutality of slavery ). History should, above all, be truth as best we know it, whether it leaves us proud or ashamed.

I can't thank you enough for taking this walk with me again! I am so glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for sharing your family history and kinship to Abraham Lincoln.

@@takkmoran9770 Thank you for your kind and positive thoughts. I've came across one person who said "if I were you I would have kept that information to myself" I replied "why would I do that?" Hahaha. By the way my eldest son was born in 1985 on Lincoln's birthday February 12th. My son is also very tall. Happy New Year to you and your family 🙏

You can't see too far from hell, so I don't think he can see much.

@@thomaswayneward You know this from experience, do ya?

He had a way with words. Thank you for watching!

Wow!

Lies. He has no direct descendents alive.

@@pooleb80 maybe not now but when she was teaching there was. she had the ancestry map to show it. show me proof sir?

Abraham Lincoln had no grandsons who had issue. He had granddaughters who had children but their surnames were not Lincoln. His last confirmed descendant died in the 1980s.

​@@rberks5like you said that you know of in my lineage I have custer in my blood which makes no since since I'm mostly native, we grew up on a reservation in South Dakota we hated the name and he was never around the Lakota like that but to kill so explain that cuz i cant

Thank you so much 😀 I truly appreciate your kind words!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful insights. Lincoln's body was disturbed many times before it was finally sealed away. May he and his kin all rest in peace.

Thank you very much!

You are very welcome! More stuff on the way. Thanks so much!

Sorry for your loss...prayers for comfort

I am sorry for the loss of your only child. Pease be with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a brother from my adoptive dad's first marriage. My brother Kirk was 64, he died of ALS. Our father is 84 years old.

God bless your soul. I offer my prayers for a peaceful life.

Wow so so sad.r.i.p child

@Cerceifynah they’re trying to make kids attend drag shows and push lgbt agendas

Meaningless outrage. A Karen indeed.

Please don't demonize the name my mother gave he's at birth. It's hurtful.😢

@@pinkythechihuahua3156 what…………smh, whatever, have a good day 🤦‍♀️

@@karenkindred9054 Your outrage is misplaced and your concerns are platitudes. Did that clarify things a little bit for you Karen?
