  • I think it is sad none of the actors attempted to develop and Kentucky accent

    A beard does not a Lincoln make.

  • Are you from Kentucky? I'm not sure how much you know about Lincoln, but he was only in Kentucky until he was 9 or so, then off to Indiana. It was more likely that he had a blended Mid-west accent. So don't be sad. There are no recordings of his voice, so I love to see the different "thoughts" about how Lincoln may have sounded. Thanks for you post!

  • John Wilkes Boothe is a hero

  • Even Jefferson Davis considered Wilkes a fool. But I appreciate your comment anyway.

  • Jefferson Davies I'm non to fond of either

    Lincoln was an oppressor; and later he thought to make slavery a primary issue to deprive the south of her moral high ground

    Lincoln - the great president who murdered indians; murdered his countrymen...creator of the USA's most bloody war

    Take away th propaganda about lincoln...and you just have a tall gruby man

    And John Wilkes Botthe is a hero, who showed that not all sins in life go unpunished

  • Your thoughts are spirited but misled. If by murdering indians you mean the Blackhawk war, then many Southerners were murderers as well. I'll be the first to admit that the American Civil War was about "more" than just slavery. You can thank John Wilkes Booth for Carpetbaggers however...read both sides of the issues not just Southern League propaganda.

  • Based on historical descriptions of Lincoln's voice, I believe that the first speaker did the best impression.  I also think he looked the most like Lincoln. We'll see if Daniel Day Lewis can do a good Lincoln.

  • @jjgriffinjr in honesty Lincoln was stated as having a high pitched voice like the nanny (fran drescher) not joking sadly I always imagined him with the calm gravel voice but nope he has a nasally high pitched voice.

  • GOD BLESS YOU SIR! I am thankful for your sacrifice.

  • @agricolae101 You said it better then me but the dumb ass made me mad.

  • @shadowlion96 ... Please do not make profound statements of fact when you dont know what you are talking about. Slavery was only abolished in the states and parts of states in Rebellion against the union. Lincoln did not give a rats ass about freeing slaves.

  • DEO VINDICE!

  • It is said that Lincoln had a thin, reedy voice. He was an excellent public speaker and could hold the attention of a crowd for long periods, witness the Cooper Union speech in New York City.

  • Sorry I wrote this back when I was woefully (I know I spelled that wrong) Ignorant on that subject I apreciate any corrections given to me because I wish not to spin or mis-inform
