I am and always have been an admirer and fan of our 16th president. As a black female citizen of this country it is easy to understand why I considered him my favorite every (president). He's role in emancipation of slavery alone would be sufficient reason to honor this man but, I am also hugely impressed with the oratory skills and moral standing that birthed some of the most famous public speeches known to american people.

I’m a white male and couldn’t agree any more. By far our greatest president ever. I’d go so far as to say greatest American ever. Slavery was the biggest stain on this country’s history and he was the perfect man for the job of ending it. Such a shame that he wasn’t able to finish his work. RIP Honest Abe

I think all students in high school should watch this great documentary. 👮‍♂️

Sow AG You won’t pick up on it from these videos. Read history books. Yes, Mary was a strong woman, but she supported her husband. Sadly, he was always in bed for months at a time so Mary had to carry everything for her husband. Where most husbands look after their wives, she had to look after him. She had to do his work for him behind the scenes when she couldn’t pry him out of bed. His mental illnesses were profound! There have NEVER been so many attacks on a Presidents life. He was sad, but she was strongfffdv

toviewthesign yes you are right. Was aware of it but didn't realise the extent. sounds hard to imagine that he could be away from public view for months at a time.

The music when Willie is talked about is haunting.

David McCullough’s wonderful narration adds so much to this series A HOUSE DIVIDED. I Can’t imagine it without his voice. He’s an historian himself & award-winning author; his books TRUMAN & JOHN ADAMS both won the Pulitzer Prize. It’s Aug 2020 & he’s still with us, along with his wife of 70 years, Rosalee.

@@campfireghost9611 Just because ya'll want to believe lies about Lincoln doesn't make those lies true. He was a racist, basically a dictator as President, and his personal life was a wreck. This documentary, and numerous others, admit this fact. But unlike your "sources", they also show the good aspects of Lincolns life and Presidency. You may hate Lincoln, but that doesn't mean he never did any good or that he wasn't a legitimately elected President and strong executive.

mary was such a little brat, i love it lol

This is a magnificent documentary combining the personal, relating to the Lincoln's, with the epic and horrendous narrative of the American civil-war, in such a way that one is drawn into the era and can feel and comprehend it as if one were actually present somewhere inside the vast tapestry of a nation divided and at war.

Willie could have been a great president ! It's immensely heartbreaking he never grew up and go the chance ! He should have been able to go back to Springfield with his family after his father's presidency ended !

We claim July 4, 1776 as our Independence Day. Talk is cheap. Had the colonies not won the Revolutionary War, our founders would end swinging from a tree and we might still be British. The USA was not acknowledged as an independent sovereign nation until the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The USA outlawed slavery less than a century after her founding. This was of her own volition, though many died in the argument.

True without the sweat and blood of the common people; the captured Africans, the political prisoners of Britain sweep into indentured servitude and slavery the USA would not have the strength or financial resources to protect itself. The sorrow of their struggle for survival still flows in our blood today. The rich may have claimed the USA but the poor built it, fought for it and loved it. I hope we have their strength to bond together and fight to protect our homeland in the times to come.🙏💕🙏💕

Would that we had his like today . Trump says hes better then Lincoln, he and his fellow present day republican party ( with a few exceptions ) are not fit to lick his boots. Lincoln would be appalled at their posturing and lack of empathy .
