Lincoln and Douglas Debate. Abraham Lincoln, debate Abe Lincoln in Illinois, Vintage Movie 1940. For additional information please refer to Lincoln's Cooper Union Address.
@TEXMANHARD Yes because the surname 'Lincoln' is obviously of Iberian origin. Sorry, but you're wrong: Lincoln was of English extraction.

Dear God, have we fallen this low that people write like this about the man?

@djsmurfie Dramatisations my ass. These are equat quotes moron, although they are a patchwork of various statements at various cities.
Furthermore, dumb ass, they are VERY accurate in their representation of the the two men. These are their arguments, moron. I found the quotes -- essentially verbatum -- in the debates as recorded at the time. Its very clear the screenwriter went to the transcrips (the first debates in US history transcribe like this, in shorthand) for the dialog.

The Douglas / Lincoln debates were such a farce, and these dramatisations do nothing bu belie the man himself. Lincoln was a silver-tongued politician who said one thing and did another, who would even say one thing one day and the complete opposite the next! I can't write all that much in these little youtube boxes - but Lincoln claimed in these debates that he upheld the principle of equality, and yet he himself endorsed the Illinois Black Codes - how do you explain that? He's a charlatan.

@bookkeeper57 Ray may have looked like Lincoln, but he certainly didn't sound like him. Lincoln spoke in a squeaky Western accent that irritated his audiences, especially in Washington.

@SSArcher11 Lee was torturing girls up to the Civil War, and would have tortured them after, if he could have.
Nathan Bedford Forrest grew very wealthy buying children - from men like Lee --- excess babies -- and force marching them to the South, to sell to men like Davis. Lee, Davis, Forrest were all slave traders, that is how they got rich, buying, selling, and working slaves.

@ke4bss Douglas is probably more responsible for the Civil War than any other man in US history. His desire for riches caused him to pander to Southern slavers, and caused them to hope to spread slavery to the west.
The South's insane desire and need to spread slavery is what caused the war -- and Douglas was the guy who -- more than anyone else -- fanned those flames.

@Sealy57 Maybe, but letting the South down easy, wasn't so easy. In fact, I think Johnson should have had trials for Lee and Davis, then pardoned them, but had the trials. We needed those trials -- to show Lee and Davis as slave torturers, child sellers, etc. Lee, for example, had girls tortured while he stood by screaming at them. Davis and Lee both got rich selling humans. All this has been white washed away.
I think Lincoln might have had trials, but who knows

He is definitly talking amout Lincoln, because Lincoln is a descendent of Hispanic Jews, and thats what American History leaves out. Notice Lincoln did not have white skin or Blonde, Red, or Brown hair like the Roman Europeans

@evesplittheatom I hope you are talking about Douglas. Because if not you should get over the fact that the south lost the war loser. You are a bigoted idiot neo-conderate a-hole. You are the SOB and are not a real Christian.
