Abraham Lincoln (Part 3)

[xingichaun007]

@LovingKimKatkar- Frederick Douglass once observed of Lincoln: "In his company, I was never reminded of my humble origin, or of my unpopular color"

[xingichaun007]

@LovingKimKatkar- Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.- Lincoln

[jamie1234591]

Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theatre and Kennedy was shot in a Ford Lincoln. Weird ha?

[xingichaun007]

Lincoln- America's greatest president

[LovingKimiKatkar]

@xingichaun007 Lincoln on Slavery: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery." --- March 14, 1861

"What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races." --- 7-17-1858, fr. a speech delivered in Springfield, Ill.

"I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, or of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people." --- September 15, 1858

Nice little docu, but I was hoping for more detail.

[Ospire]

Julius Caesar of America. I think his death will end up being the most remembered of all Americans, past and future.

[BastiaanV2]

If you want a leader that represents the people, you have to come from a similair social class.

That is why this president is so legendary.

[MarioSuperStar23]

best president ever

[TheHolyhaymaker]

The 1 dislike is Grant >D

[rockndude87]

@TheHolyhaymaker Grant and Lincoln were on good terms...Lincoln is the one who wanted to keep him as a general in his army and wanted to appoint him as Head General of the Union army...You might be thinking of McClellan?

[FarhadTv]

Idiot Irish and German as well as Dutch and other people went all the way to USA to die like dogs lol.

Homeless Christ 02 Colloquium minute 7: on Abraham Lincoln

[hauntedmythcaves]

I do feel that the South had states rights intentions, but of course slavery was a huge part of the war. Its pretty hard to miss.

[Tyco200]

A True Republican. Our father of America who cared for the constitution and wanted to end Slavery.

Republicans = Saints of America.

Democrats = Monsters who seek the death of America!

[Gardevoirism]

@Tyco200 lolpoliticalparties.

[opaaloys]

, Slavery becomes a matter for the union ,especiailly during the Kansas Missoury conflict. People who settled in non organised teritorries get notherners and people from the south with there slaves next door. Northeners don`t want compete against slavework. Immigrants from europe too. German Immigrants fight for "unity andjustice and liberty" 1848 (national athem).Irish descend fight against english descend slaveholders. Look at the impact of the Gettysburg adress. There hope and believes,

[lildwayne21]

This documentary feels so rushed.....

[MrSlik25]

I wonder what really made these guys tick back then...because things were very intense.

[lilvjdude]

Lincoln was one tough motherfucker

[12REASONSTOWORRY]

@lilvjdude Lincoln was tough...RObert E LEE was the motherfucker

[VagrantVoiceTV]

Chuckonbass sounds A) like a histrionic demagogue, B) a Communist

[frellthat]

Well, since he talks about the suffering and enslavement of ordinary people, he obviously must be a Communist.

[regelemihai]

@frellthat

No, he cannot be because communists sought to destroy human rights.

[royalbluff5389]

Thx for sharing.....Incredible story.

[Chuckonbass67]

That states rights is such bullcrap. Poor southern people were called into action to protect the rights of the wealthy, who would enslave humans rather than pay their local labor force decent wages. The people here in the South still wave flags of the Uber Rich who could give a damm about their local citizens

[Dogmeat1950]

@Chuckonbass67 , that's false

[ToyinJoseph]

cool

[exanchorite]

Ceased to exist... I doubt it. I also don't admire the man for the thousands of political prisoners he jailed by doing away with writs of habeas corpus and inacting martial law. Article I, Section 9, clause 2 of the Constitution, which states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Slavery was a side issue. The Civil War was more about states rights.

[osallent]

@exanchorite If the Civil War was about "state rights" and not slavery, then why did the Confederate Constitution prohibit any Confederate State from ever banning slavery? That doesn't sound like state rights to me!

[exanchorite]

I never said it was not about slavery... I said it was more about states rights. I will research the confederate constitution.

[exanchorite]

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.

Abraham Lincoln August 22, 1862

[SeeProfileForDetails]

@osallent confederates probably think it is a "right" to have slaves, just as gay people feel it is a right to shove your dick up someone's fecal matter

[ultradumbass]

@osallent because jefferson davis who opposed slavery believed in people's individual right to choose. some of his family owned slaves but he did not and if an entire state bans slavery it would mean those who want slaves would not be able to own them.

[postalmeter]

@osallent

Obviously the state would re-join the Union after that, duh.
