The bible commanded not to pollute the land with bloodshed. Heavy karma America.

@academysounds As was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said, the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. From Lincoln's second inaugural address.

Being 203 years old does not feel as old as I thought it might. Thanks.

Abraham Lincoln was a british immigrant, why do they give him an american accent when he speaks.

@MrDanoconnor I agree. Thanks to this interpretation, I now have a renewed appreciation for the significance of the American Civil War, the Reconstruction, etc.

I heard that Lincoln was very still during his orations... and slower. Still, I admire your interpretation and commend you for a memorable reenactment. Surely your audience, both in person and virtual, will remember it for years to come.

@academysounds But the Bible also says there is a time and season for everything, So fighting to keep the American dream alive is worth all the Karma if you ask me,

@jeAbemansfield My only final word of advice, if I may, is, Don't Change a thing.  If It's NOT Broken Don't Fix It,
