- Abraham Lincoln is one of the best known presidents, and for good reason, as he was one of the best! After a series of weak presidents, Lincoln had the ability to lead the nation through the Civil War, the most tumultuous event in our history. In the process, he freed the slaves, and then he was the first president to be assassinated. There is so much to talk about here so this is a meaty one, let's take a look!

the fact that Lincoln ignored a SC decision from a justice appointed by JACKSON is so... oddly poetic.
I do like your videos on all the Presidents but I especially enjoy your take on the less popular ones.
this is so underrated
The best videos to learn with that I have found on CZcams. Thank you, sir, for your effort in making them and please continue.
12:11 You should've also mentioned that to this day, Antietam remains the deadliest day in American history, surpassing 9/11 and Pearl Harbor in terms of fatalities.
Cool video...I used it in my history class. I did not have to lecture and the kids learned everything they needed to know. Thank you. :)
@ Leonard Mullin
"in his law practice he defended slave owners, the largest one would be Robert Matson 1847, this is in American History books."
Lincoln was a lawyer and represented everyone who visited the Lincoln Herndon office, when Hiram Rutherford (abolitionist) .asked for Lincoln, he said he could not represent Rutherford, because he commited himself to Matson.
First Lincoln lost few lawsuits, but the Matson affair is one of those! Lincoln extrem clumsily represented Matso's case in the trial. He showed the facts during the trial, that Matson's slave Jane Bryent (+her children) was brought to work in Illinois and not to travel through the state. So the Jane Bryant could be free through the Habeas Corpus proceedings!
BTW William Fleurville was Lincoln's barber for 25 years. He came from Haiti to Springfield and Lincoln (and Herndon) managed his finances!
13:45 I want to add something. Even though Robert E Lee may have blundered at the Battle of Gettysburg, General Meade had simply corrected Lees strategy. Before General Pickets Charge, Lee had tried to break through Union defenses but couldnt do it. He believed that the Union would have weakened their frontline fortifying the flank. Then the Charge happened and just the stroke of Union luck was able to guess what Lee would try.
Outstanding summary and I have watched dozens! The only point I wished you had included involved more info on the Emanicipation Proclamation in that slavery was outlawed ONLY in the Confederate States because Lincoln still had 5 slave states in the Union. That point establishes how the Emanicipation Proclamation was a brillant military maneuver. Very impressive how you kept the presentation objective and factual. Great job!
He only had authority in the war zone under Martial Law.
@@SandfordSmythe Nice try. Lincoln could do whatever he wanted wherever he wanted. His Emancipation Proclamation was a brilliant military move he took months to prepare for. His military advisors warned him that changing the motive from Preserving the Union to a social cause would lead to a tremendous drop of enlistments, which it did and he was prepare for by following the EP up with the draft. The move that would outrage even today's liberals was when he suspended the Writ of Habeas Corpus. Lincoln could not afford to lose the 5 border states that allowed slavery, especially Delaware and Maryland.
@@1956pms Lincoln pushed the limits on many things, but he acknowledged. that slavery was written into the Constitution. That's why he pushed for the 13th amendment. This is noted in many sources. And please don't involve modern day politics because it will taint your objectivity.
@@SandfordSmythe We were discussing the Emancipation Proclamation, not the 13th Amendment. And the comment that offended you was a result of the massive unfair and incorrect criticism of events and figures in history using today's standards of judgement.
Lol you accuse others of using "today's standards of judgment" when you're clearly using modern thought to analyze the war. XD congratulations on having a brain that can't understand anything more than 60 years old. But you won't fool anyone educated enough to be a sincere subscriber to professor Dave, sorry. We all know how knowledge works, it's not whatever your sorry ass says it is, as much as you wish it was.
Damn. What a Badass he was.
I thought of something: Lincoln was the first president to die during his second term office. W. Harrison and Taylor both died during their first term.
Por favor, es importante para todas las personas de habla español. Debe tener debajo la traducción al español, para dar conocimiento a todos los que habitan en éste maravilloso país, gracias a personas maravillosas como FUÉ ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GRACIAS
Hi prof , i ll be very thankful if i can understand the concept ,,,,,How can the moving charge particle give its magnetic field ?
Super
sheer force of bayonets! he held the 'country' together by force
Only the traitors were held at gun point! And don’t start with this ‘country’ shit, if you don’t like America than get the hell out
Sad how the US has lost its vision.
We have serval Lincoln videos & we have lots planned to do! Lincoln is the man!
Suspending Habeas Corpus reminds me of John Adams Aliens and Sedition Act. Not exactly, but similar.
Perhaps you have not been introduced to the history regarding the dangers posed by southern sympathizers inhabiting the surrounding states of Washington D.C., for example Maryland and Virgina. Read up on the The Baltimore riot of 1861 (also called the "Pratt Street Riots" and the "Pratt Street Massacre")[. It] was a civil conflict on Friday, April 19, 1861, on Pratt Street, in Baltimore, Maryland. It occurred between antiwar "Copperhead" Democrats (the largest party in Maryland) and other Southern/Confederate sympathizers on one side, and on the other, members of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania state militia regiments en route to the national capital at Washington who had been called up for federal service. The fighting began at the President Street Station, spreading throughout President Street and subsequently to Howard Street, where it ended at the Camden Street Station. The riot produced the first deaths by hostile action in the American Civil War and is nicknamed the "First Bloodshed of the Civil War".
[In 1861] Judge Giles, in Baltimore, issued a writ of habeas corpus, but Major W. W. Morris, commander of the [Union] fort, wrote back, "At the date of issuing your writ, and for two weeks previous, the city which you live, and where your court has been held, was entirely under the control of revolutionary authorities. Within that period United States soldiers, while committing no offense, had been perfidiously attacked and inhumanly murdered in your streets; no punishment had been awarded, and, I believe, no arrests had been made for these crimes; supplies of provisions intended for this garrison has been stopped; the intention to capture this fort had been boldly proclaimed; your most public thoroughfares were daily patrolled by large numbers of troops, armed and clothed, at least in part, with articles stolen from the United States; and the Federal flag, while waving over the Federal offices, was cut down by some person wearing the uniform of a Maryland soldier. To add the foregoing, an assembly elected in defiance of law, but claiming to be the legislative body of your State, and so recognized by the Executive of Maryland, was debating the Federal compact. If all this be not rebellion, I know not what to call it. I certainly regard it as sufficient legal cause for suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus." Moreover, Morris wrote, "If, in an experience of thirty-three years, you have never before known the writ to be disobeyed, it is only because such a contingency in political affairs as the present has never before arisen."

Excellent video - very illuminating and comprehensive, though...odd no mention of his life long best friend Joshua Speed? 🤔
What is there to say about Joshua Speed? We all know he was a close friend to Abraham when they were young men. So? How does that rank as History Making? @The Curious Sapien If you are so curious, why don't you delve into the Kansas Nebraska Act? Who were the three key politicians who promoted the Kansas Nebraska Act? Why do you not ask about the term "Bleeding Kansas"? Between 1854 and 1859 what was the cause for naming a "Border War"?
I love your videos and use them to help my sons with there education. Sadly however I must point out that when you use flags to represent the states that joined the Confederacy you used the wrong flag. The flag you used was kinda the battle flag but wrong dimensions. I don’t mean to nit pick but as accurate as you are 99.99% of the time I figured I would let you know. Thank you again for all of your wonderful videos. Please keep it up.
thanks for the note!
I like 6 books too.
The state assembly of Illinois tried to forbid the abolutionist propagada. Lincoln voted with other 4 polticians as a minority against the banning of free speech! That time Illinois had a big southern origine population from Kentucky, Tenneesse, Virginia. The mid Eastern and the New Englander people were a minority in Illinois and German-Irish immingrants were very few there, In 1858 during the Lincoln-Douglas debate only South Illinois had strong southern root. There were a short time very small south Illinois seccession movements, but the movements ended without longterm effect. North Illinois with Chicago became extrem unionist and the southern part also became unionist later, as Mark Twain! Mark Twain began the Civil War in the pro southern militia in 1861 and he becam prounionist in Nevada in 1863!

Sir I dream to meet you once I'm an indian.
Based Lincoln.
Lincoln gave her first political speech about Eliyah P Lovejoy in 1837! Loveyoy began an abolitionist newspaper in St Louis in the slave system Missouri state. The proslevery mob chased away to Altona Illinois. The pro slavery mob killed Eliyah P. Lovejoy there. Lincoln condemned the assassination in the name of free speech! He corresponded Eliyah's brother and Lincoln wrote he wants similar about the slavery system as Owen Lovejoy. Owen helped Lincoln in his senator and presidential elections.
LINCOLN WAS NOT SAINT, he was politician and he worked as a politician. Lincoln was not a second John Brown, but a centre position politician in a new party and he worked in centre position in the most cases. The super abolutionist Sumner senator supported him. Sumner knew he himself could go to the wall (he got injury for that), but the president of the USA in 1860 only a such man could have been who would not go to the wall immediatally!
I'm not American, but I'd still say Lincoln is arguably the greatest head of state in world history.
I do not see 7 Confederate states, only 6.
How are you or anyone else able to assign so definite sexual orientation to someone who lived before the civil war? What difference does any of this make? You are putting a label on someone who is not alive to answer or defend himself regarding these accusations. Why??
The first black President
That was Barack Obama.
@@tobiaszczarnota7879 Obama was the first mixed-race president.
Lincoln was a better president than washington
Please don't make silly comparisons such as this. It just reveals a low understanding. Any elementary school 2nd grader can say what you just commented... Tell us your thoughts as to why Lincoln and Washington are beloved to Americans above any other presidents. Why was Washington the right leader for his time.? Why was Lincoln the right leader for his time? Why was Theodore Roosevelt the right leader for his time? Why was Franklin D. Roosevelt the right leader for his time? Why was Richard Nixon a poor leader? And so on...
Abraham Licoln was a great BLACK MAN.
I’ve seen you comment this multiple times, there are literal pictures of the man lmao, he’s white
@@casualsatanist you have to read the history books with the actual accounts of people who saw him and what they wrote about him. If I send you a video which provides the sources, will you watch it and keep an open mind?
BTW, the pictures you see of Abraham Licoln was designed that way. They said he was ugly so they created on purpose and he hinself allowed it to happen.. You may as well say this is pre photoshop. But all is told in the sources. But it is up to you if you are interested to watch it?
@@vasuguptaa prove it
I am a black man and it would be a great feather in the cap of all black people if he were black, but they have actual photos of the man and his parents are known to be both white so that idea is just way out there no one will buy that anymore people would believe Robert E Lee was Chinese.
@@vasuguptaa
Are you sure?

He sounds like a great guy, but hey he was a slave owner and even when he wrote a will foreseeing his own death, he willed his slaves to his wife. Lincoln never freed any of his own slaves. His inauguration speech was not written by him, some of these things are fables that Americans completely believe. I think Lincoln's ideas were great, wonderful but it makes me feel bad that he read a beautiful speech and signed the best proclamation that the US ever had but in his own heart he could not did not and would not free his own slaves. Leads me to believe that he was also at heart a racist.
What are you smoking, Lost Causer?
Uhhhh... Lincoln wasn't a slave owner... Where the hell did you get that idea? XD Abe's father opposed slavery because he could not afford slaves, so Abe would not have inherited any, and he was an abolitionist his entire life...
read it an American History book, used in High Schools across the USA. He willed his slaves to his wife Mary, even in his law practice he defended slave owners, the largest one would be Robert Matson 1847, this is in American History books.
@Leonard Mullin False! Get your facts straight. To anyone else reading angry-face Leonard's delusional claims, ignore him!!! Instead continue your pursuits to learn the truth about Abraham Lincoln our 16th President of the United States. He wrote The Emancipation Proclamation. In his second term as President he passed the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishing slavery forever. Amending the constitution requires approval by 3/4 of the states. 3/4ths! Not 2/3rds, not 1/2! A herculean 3/4ths. Lincoln battled with his heart and soul to pass the abolition of slavery forever in our country. Abraham Lincoln is a hero in every respect.
What a loaf of crap. He was NOT a slave owner. I suggest you go and buy The Licoln Encyclopedia book. Which is his life writings. he tells you himself that he is 6 foot 4 inches a long black fellow. He was BLACK.
Farm animals/dog inside city limits is terrorism punishable by death for animal and owner. Crime to own liv with dog/animals inside city limits, get the dog's out!
Um, yeah. Death to dog owners. We're all with you, bud.
