There was a PBS ... ( 4 months ago by marktwain4president)

There was a PBS documentary done a long time ago called Lincoln - the best I've seen. The composer, Alan Menken, is quite influenced by Copland's works, but his score was better than Copland - more dramatic, heroic, cohesive, melodic... unforgettable. It is a difficult score to find but well worth it. I think if you enjoy Copland you will enjoy Menken's Lincoln even more. Some of the most powerful and stirring music I've heard.

Red Sox designated RHP Lincoln Holdzkom for assignment.
Holdzkom is sporting a 5.24 ERA with a 26/31 K/BB ratio at Triple-A Pawtucket. The Sox lost him in the Rule-5 draft last year, but there's a good chance he'll clear waivers this time around

Lincoln was a ... ( 1 month ago by DIE999999999999)

Lincoln was a tyrant of the worst kind, the war was not faught over slavery (Lincoln himself said so), and Southern soldiers were not fighting for slavery. This video is nothing more than a perfect example of abject idolatry and nationalism. Before you dismiss my statements as the ravings of a lunatic:
"This war is not about slavery." -Robert E. Lee.".
If I thought this war was to abolish slavery, I would resign my commission and offer my sword to the other side. -Ulysses S. Grant

Lincoln was this ... ( 1 month ago by mfitz54)

Lincoln was this country's greatest President.
There is no escaping the fact that this war was fought over slavery, the most evil institution perpetrated by the people of this country. Lincoln was the first President to do anything about it. He was a great man.

How can you say ... ( 1 month ago by DIE999999999999)

How can you say this in spite of all the evidence?
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it."-Abraham Lincoln
Congress announced to the world on July 22, 1861, that the purpose of the war was not "interfering with the rights or established institutions of those states"(i.e., slavery),but to preserve the Union "with the rights of the several states unimpaired."

Your thesis ... ( 1 month ago by SKIP8829)

Your thesis contradicts the points you go on to make! Lincoln & Grant, along with Lee, were "on the same page" as to WHY the war was being fought-and slavery WASN'T the overriding reason, but rather the sanctity of the Union vs. states' rights(the southern concept of it).

There is no ... ( 1 month ago by DIE999999999999)

There is no contradiction between my thesis and the points I go on to make. Fail.

As I hear or read ... ( 1 month ago by eotto2001)

As I hear or read the anti-Lincoln comments it strikes me that as we move to the new age of virtual if not real slavery of globalism, we have to have a form of socialization among the common man that sees such as a good thing. To have Lincoln suggesting otherwise goes against the collective and corporation mentality of the mass man. The words from this came from the Lincoln-Douglas debates that predated the war. If one is literate, then one can also read the Coopers Union speeches to his views.

Skip8829 -- slavery ... ( 4 weeks ago by ORagnar)

Skip8829 -- slavery was ended. Lincoln did make the executive order called the Emancipation Proclamation. So, you are contradicted big time by the evidence. America came into existence in a world where slavery was the norm and they ended it. This is the context of America that is not taught, and it is the truth. Lots of low lives out there are trying to down play America's greatness to their ever lasting shame.

1) The emancipation ... ( 3 weeks ago by Tommmaaayyy)

1) The emancipation Provlomation only freed slaves in the states which were "in opposition to the United States" so effectively did not free a single person.
2)We were not even close to being the first country to outlaw slavery. Sorry. Not only were we one of the LAST countries to do so, we only did after the bloodiest war ever fought at that time.
3) Slavery in the US did not end until the 13th ammendment in 1865, after pretty much every other civilized country did so without violence.

No real conspiracy ... ( 3 weeks ago by Tommmaaayyy)

No real conspiracy here. The Civil War was not about slavery at all. It's what I've been taught since I first learned it in school. It was about preserving the union, no doubt, but Lincoln was personally an abolitionist. His quote that if he could preserve the union without freeing a single slave is often misrepresented: he was saying that preserving the union was more important to him than any political issue.

Tommmaaayyy -- It ... ( 3 weeks ago by ORagnar)

Tommmaaayyy -- It led to the freeing of slaves. It created the impetus to free slaves. The slaves *were* freed. In 1776, and even before, the Founders set the ball rolling to spread freedom, which included freeing the slaves. The battle in America started with America's creation. The bloodiness of the battle was a measure of the moral desire to end slavery. And, really, recognition that slavery was wrong was the new idea, as per Lockean rights.

Tommmaaayyy -- ... ( 3 weeks ago by ORagnar)

Tommmaaayyy -- another point. Modern thinkers who ridicule America by taking out of context the monumental achievements of the countries as a rule could not hold a candle to the greatness of men like Jefferson, Madison and Washington. Typically, in fact, muliculturalists today support slavery with the phrase "They have the right to their culture", see Islamic countries for details.

I really enjoyed this video! My one problem: Why so many blank areas? Realizing that these occurred when Gregory Peck wasn't speaking, I still would've enjoyed some sort of period pictures! I'll take that a step further and say that I missed the beginning portions of the piece!
But that's OK. Most excellent job!
