The West Wing - Lincoln Administration

This is a video to see what if Lincoln's administration was put to the theme of The West Wing.

It was also inspired by Doris Kearns Goodwin's book - "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln."

Today is also the 146th Anniversary of when South Carolina seceded from the Union in the days leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.

Not bad, except it should be AND Abraham Lincoln.

It would be interesting if you did one for the Kennedy and/or Johnson administrations.

If this were a show, I'd think the actors portrayed would go like this:

Edwin Stanton - John Rys-Davies

John Hay - James McAvoy

John Nicolay - Jason Isaacs

Gideon Welles - Bernard Hill

Edward Bates - Albert Finney

Salmon P. Chase - G.W. Bailey

William Seward - Rene Auberjonois

Abraham Lincoln - head assplodes

Lincoln in Charleston, Illinois:

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,...and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races...while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

Thank you for your comments, what a nice video this is! I like how you used the time period flag, and I love that picture of Lincoln by the window. Great job!

That's quite a good job! Of course you could not use video material of the characters! ;-)

I like the star spangled banner of that time!

Nice job. I'm glad you liked the Obama video.

The West Wing music is so good, it almost makes me think that you could put any set of photos in and it would make it seem inspirational!
