Lincoln -- Trailer (History Project)

This is a tribute to the 16th President of the United States -- Abraham Lincoln

I made this for my history class. Actually it is more like a trailer, but regardless of that I hope you'll enjoy it.

The Music is from Edward Zwick's Film "Glory" (1989), which is composed by James Horner.

The most famous president but he is my favorite president he was OUR president

You may have forgotten to include "mass murderer," "pretentious, perfidious parasite" and "surreptitious scumbag" to your list of Lincoln's attributes. Research "compensated emancipation." Did 600,000 innocent Americans (more Americans than perished in World War II) needlessly have to die as a result of one person's lust for centralized power?

A wonderful man!!

You can not judge a person from the 19th century with 21st century ethics, morals and commonly accepted beliefs; if Lincoln had expressed an interest in ending slavery and giving the black man the vote whilst running for the presidency no one would have listened to him and he'd never have got to achieve what he did. In his time he was a progressive thinker, very liberal. What will history have to say about us and our attitudes in 150 years? I guess we'll never know.

The only moral justification for the worst conflict in american history was for the sole purpose of abolition. The invasion's SOLE purpose was nationalism, and was never directly or indirectly abolition. Therefore it is not justified.

The 1865 quote says nothing in regard to chattel slavery. That is the point. Lincoln made clear, at the end of the invasion, that the SOLE purpose and end of the invasion was to uphold nationalism. You can not find one quote of Lincoln's ever saying he wanted to touch chattel slavery. When he was forced to use this lever or lose his nationalist invasion, he only used it for ends to preserve his power.

@randyguitarman13: Yes, & what are you're quotes supposed to prove regarding slavery? Civil rights, like sufferage, are matter of law, not natural rights like liberty. A sixteen year old is barred from sufferage, you can't buy & sale him as a slave. You have a problem w/ basic logical & moral catagories.

Lincoln 1836:

"I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage, who pay taxes or bear arms, (by no means excluding females.)"

Lincoln 1865:

"We all agree that the seceded States, so called, are out of their proper practical relation with the Union; and that the sole object of the government, civil and military, in regard to those States is to again get them into that proper practical relation."

[VictorLepanto]

@randyguitarman13:Well, that is what LINCOLN said. I guess you know better. You 're ignorany & proud of it. No one can talk to someone like you.

"Lincoln had a life long grudge against slavery."

Lincoln never even indirectly mentioned chattel slavery before 1836. And in 1836, he only indirectly mentioned it, by saying he would only promote voting rights for white people!

Lincoln did not have a life long dedication to the end of chattel slavery. Lincoln's Invasion had nothing to do with chattel slavery. Period.
