God bless President Lincoln. I am so proud that he was our President. Whenever I would go to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, it would bring tears to my eyes thinking about him and what he did for the slaves. God bless him always.

History is so important to study

Mary was stronger than many gave her credit!

We should name more things after Elizabeth Keckly. She did a lot more to preserve the Union than she’s given credit for.

I have watched and rewatched this docuseries and over the years I have retracted any and all negative opinions concerning President Lincoln.

The previous two parts of this docuseries were so in depth and well told I was hearing for the first time an all inclusive and truthfully impartial depiction and retelling of this man, his private life, and public time in office.

Previous TWO parts you say? Being this is part 4, I take it the third displeased you?

They need to name more things after Elizabeth Keckly.

To be completely honest i have grown in admiration, respect, and empathy for him. I am certian he embodied the qualities,stubborn determination, and providential guided drive to be one if not tge best U.S. President.

I also have the same feelings of respect and empthay for Mrs. Lincoln. She too has my lifelong admiration

...." Mother...you must control your grief or it will drive you mad and we may have to send you there."

The idea that the Union was going nowhere and that the military situation had collapsed in the summer of 1862 is only true if you focus on the East. In the West, Grant had captured Forts Donelson and Henry, New Orleans and Corinth had been captured, &, even if Shiloh had been costly, it ended in a rather complete victory. The effort by Farragut and a General Williams in front of Vicksburg had just been a first stab. It would have been surprising if it had succeeded. OBTW, Shiloh was not a battle commanded by Buell and Grant. Grant was in command. Buell merely brought some troops to the battle.

Yes! You are right! HOLLY HUNTER!

Although we appreciate him for freeing the slaves, but let’s not be ignorant, HE DID NOT care about black people…..AT ALL. We were only a means to an ends. And the ends were worth more than the means

So, when I heard some unknown details abt Lincoln and his actual personal views concerning blacks and slavery, I was left my mouth hanging open and my feelings bashed and beaten. I tried not to feel personally insulted by his statements that blacks were not worthy of equality in all parts save the right to be free of bondage. And intially that was reserved for those not already slaves in the south; as he first expressed the prohibition expansion of slavery to non slave states

It’s called taking baby steps. If he had come out and said the slaves were free and equal even the abolitionists would have rejected that idea and the slaves would have never been freed. Lincoln did what was necessary at that time.

Great documentary except for the back ground music and singing!

"4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers..." 'Father Abraham' Lincoln encoded the beginning of his Gettysburg Address. On July 4th - 7/4/1863 - Lincoln gave an Independence Day Speech from the White House in which he referred to "87 years ago" going back to 1776. The Battle of Gettysburg was July 1-3 and Vicksburg surrendered to Grant on 7/4 after a 47-day siege. In his preparation for his speech in Gettysburg, the President realized he could express 87 years as "4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers" thus referring to Genasis 16:16 where Abram/Abraham was "4 score and 6 years old when the slave girl Hagar gave birth to his son Ishmael ('Is he male?')". This is the first time "score" appears in the Bible. Gen 16:16 with Lincoln being the 16th P(16)resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is beyond 'coincidence'. It's a sign from GOD and a proof of destiny. "Freemasons encode everything" - two programs on History Channel GOD=7_4, 7/4=July 4th whereas G is the 7th letter, a circle is either 15 or zero or ---, D=4. Benjamin Franklin (PA), George Washington (VA & Continental Army) and John Hancock (MA) were the three main men behind the Revolution, they represented the three main colonies/states and the three of them were Grand Master Masons. They hit July 4, 1776 intentionally thus laying down the BIGGEST code in all history. GOD=7_4 is just the tip of the iceberg. GOD=7_4 Theory is found at GOD704.fandom.com .
