@Dominus Vobiscum I no longer remember my comment about these but I spent my time studying the Civil War. He had no intention of freeing slaves but he did despise slavery and what he said was any politician will do. During his term views will certainly change but I'm sure the consistent thing with Lincoln is that he hated slavery. I would say he did stretched the powers given to the President but morally? He did great! I'mm not American so you can correct me or add something but this comment is kinda similar to those channels which focuses on the Civil War.

[@waltermcfarland4912]

Lincoln had a change of heart? -- that's the standard excuse for Lincoln's barbarous war. The severity of the war was because Lincoln and his generals were waging TOTAL war against defenseless women, children and slaves contrary to the Geneva Conventions of that day. The Emancipation Proclamation was a desperation move to prevent Britain from coming in on the side of the South because the North was losing -- and it worked. Virtually everybody up to 1861 recognized that secession was a fundamental right of the states as a bulwark against tyranny, for the same reasons the 13 original states had a right to secede from Great Britain. But clever lawyer that he was, Lincoln redefined it as "saving the Union." At least 20 other countries had eliminated slavery without firing a shot. But Lincoln needed a war to create a strong, central government that would further the interests of his railroad and bank buddies -- crony capitalism.

[@MGTOWPaladin]

@mr_hands YouCONVENIENTLY didn't check the timelines. South Carolina legally seceded on December 20, 1860. The US Army, stationed at Ft Moultrie, on Sullivan Island, burned the fort and ILLEGALLY INVADED the soil of the free, independent, and sovereign nation of South Carolina, and took position of Ft Sumter on December 26, 1860, without permission or a treaty with SC or orders from Washington DC. And, neither President Buchanan nor Lincoln would remove the invading force when asked, but *DEMANDED* REVENUE TAX MONEY from a State no longer in the Union.

[@1voluntaryist]

@@mr_hands Choosing to opt out of a "confederation" of sovereigns for political survival, is called SECESSION, not a declaration of civil war. Civil war is when two or more fractions of a nation fight for total control. That is what Lincoln did, NOT the sovereign states who wanted to be left alone.

Forget who your president is, remember someone like Lincoln and the ordinary American GI’s who liberated my grandfather. They were Americans.

Four facts that will prove you're wrong about the South committing treason. 1: At that time in history, when the Southern states seceded. Not nowhere in the U. S constitution did it state that secession by a state, or states will be unconstitutunal. 2; Chief justice of the U.S. supreme court Salmon P. Chase said: Do not put the Confederate leaders on trial, it will condemn the North. For as the Constitution, secession is not rebellion. President Eisenhower kept a portrait of Gen. Lee hung on a wall in the oval office. He would not have hung up a portrait of a traitor. 4: The United States Navy named two of their submarines. USS Robert E. Lee USS Stonewall Jackson The United States Navy has never had a ship named Benedict Arnold. The reason for that, the United States Navy will not name their ships after traitors.

Fun fact, Lincoln didn't care about slavery, his only concern was preserving the union, and to do that, he had to abolish slavery. He wrote "if I save the union without freeing a single slave, I would do that, if I could save the union by freeing all slaves I would do that..." Either way, he care about liberty for all, that's why he supported the union, and its because of that that he freed the slaves. But he didn't free slaves, the emancipation didn't apply to the southern slave loyal states under confederacy. Still his vision for the future where liberty is held as an imperative is the reason he supported the union and it was because of that that he went to war with the confederation, which eventually abolished slavery. So happy ending.

he envisioned it as an agrarian society of small hold farmers not one of plantations with slave owners. He actually mortgaged his slaves and when he couldn't make repayment they repossessed and sold.

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Todays Americans, Dems and GOP alike, Stand so diminished in our characters before this Divine Towering Person who stood for what was correct despite severely opposing odds. A Very pertinent lesson even today, nearly 200 years later. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

In history class we had to memorize part of this speech in order to get a passing grade. If we wanted a perfect score, we had to memorize the whole thing. Everyone showed up to class only knowing the first couple sentences or so. On the morning of the day when we would be reciting the speech, I decided that I should memorize the whole thing. My ancestors came here on the Mayflower, helped build this country all throughout the 17th, 18th, and 19th century-so it was my obligation to honor them, in whatever small way I could. I ended up memorizing the whole speech just in time for class that day. Needless to say, my teacher and the others students were surprised that someone had showed up knowing the whole. It was such a great moment in my life reciting such a brilliant, well-written speech from America’s history.

From an indian, first of all this an absolute beauty of a speech! Also, quite relatable in the indian freedom struggle context! ❤

[@KUR4H]

The speech was not just for Americans but for the world and humanity as a whole in my opinion, it serves as an example to all who seek freedom, equality, and liberty from the oppressors who seeks to oppress humanity and control us.

[@1voluntaryist]

@@KUR4H What do you think Lincoln meant by "union"? The union is one political collection, under one authority, obeying one person, oppressed, NOT politically equal individuals, NOT free. If the POTUS believes he has the power to set people politically free, then he implies he has the power to enslave also. Think about it.

Beautiful I know that voice anywhere.

@@autumnfrost-art they should be dehumanized if they are here illegally! Duh. These people are not even 2nd class citizens, they are not even citizens.

[@gsp49]

@@autumnfrost-art , let me explain, in 2017 a Mexican (15 year old girl) driving an uninsured vehicle all by herself, ran over me, had I not been in the shadow of the hospital I would still be dead. My lawyer explained I would not be able get a nickel, because legally it was the same as me being injured by a wild animal, she never even tried to apologise for what she did, I was in the hospital for 6 months. These people are hardened criminals already before they cross that border seeking monetary gain. The USA is broke, Mexico is not, Mexico is a wealthy country that should be doing something about the problem. Like Trump said, they are not sending their best, we get the rejects of their society, the worst. Would you break the law and tresspass into Mexico? Then expect to be treated humanely when you get caught? I have no sympathy or compassion whatsoever for these criminals. These people do NOT deserve a second chance, and actions should be taken against them to insure that they are unable to repeat their crime when caught. Im even a advocate for using lethal force against them. Then maybe Mexico would quit allowing this to happen, and at least help pay for the wall, we need another wall or imigration checkpoints in middle Florida for the illegals comming in through the carribean nations! Soon.

[@gsp49]

@@autumnfrost-art , you are wrong, by the time they think of crossing illegally, whether they swim across or overstay their visa, they have criminal intent, and you are in some type of denial if you think that is the only thing wrong they are doing, these people have no moral values to do such a thing. If she was an irresponsible teenager she would have been in Mexico, not committing crimes by being here. What an ignorant way for you to be thinking. She had to have known better. I'm not the only victim it's hurting thousands of U.S. citizens every day.

[@calebmusamba17]

He was a great leader!'😥😥

[@kingfrost7528]

he is my favorite president ever

[@gsp49]

My favorite ever is Trump, he didn't send marauders into the south burning houses, raping women, destroying and stealing food and poisoning the wells like Lincoln.

[@lorenzocrespin6730]

Respect to Abraham Lincoln. Thank you sir.

[@teddymshana8782]

This was the man of his time,full of wisdom and strong in decisions. Abraham Lincoln

[@deathbyvelocity7541]

Oh, how we have forgotten. No one. And i do mean no one, can place themselves in the shoes of Abraham Linclon. No man, and no nation should have to endure what we and he did. No man or women is created equal, but ALL should have the opportunity to be as great as they can be. Race or belief should never be qualifing or disqualifing. Ease his pain, and unit as people. People just trying to get through life the best they can. Working to have their postarity to have it better than they did.
