  3. Every school kid had to memorize the Gettysburg Address back in the 1960s in 8th grade US history. Thank you Nick for telling this story. This was the day that the war became about equality instead of preserving the Union.

    On an unrelated note. Came here the first time and there were 24 likes. Just visited again there are 30 likes.
    This date in baseball is a very sad one for San Francisco Giants fans.😢

    RIP WILLIE MAYS
    RIP ORLANDO CEPEDA

  5. Excellent presentation and analysis Nick! It should have been obvious that he could not have written a speech like that without a lot of thought and preparation. Thanks for keeping our history alive and well! Happy Fourth Of July To Everyone! 👍👍💥💥

  7. Thank you. Some of us had read a number of books on Lincoln back in the 1950s & 60s with no mention of this, but I suspected something had been brewing for awhile, just like stuff boils around in my head a good time before I give a presentation. I had debated with my history teacher on several Civil War topics, and to this day classmates recall what they thought about it. I got an A in that class

  8. Everyone needs a trip to Gettysburg. I spent days there just walking the fields hills and buildings 😮😢. Never know how long these monuments will stand when this country keeps tearing down historical art, artifacts, and monuments 😢.
    Awesome video. Per usual 💪😊👍.

  13. Living about 10 minutes from Gettysburg for a good portion of my life i used to love walking the battlegrounds but when i took a helicopter ride around the battlefields it really came into perspective. I always wonder what this country would be like today if the south would have won.

  15. Do not forget Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and then was backed up by congress when they passed a bill allowing the President to suspend Habeas Corpus. All humans will eventually crackup with enough pressure from the opposing side and Lincoln did just that, he caved into his fears. Whether He was justified are not is still a up and down argument.
