Cool video. I love Lincoln and I am most fascinated by his legal battles with the S.C. At times Lincoln would use Latin, Roman law to argue his point. The republic was torn with 3 branches at war because the people were poisoned by years of slavery but somehow the system gave us Lincoln and Grant.

An excellent profile of President Lincoln, I didn't knew he was also a sophisticated attorney, besides his activism leading to the abolishment of slavery. nice, Ali

We are fortunate that law has replaced simple vigilante virtue that hangs people without a fair trial.
