Thank you, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is the BEST SPEECH in American History - and it only took 3 minutes!!! Wonderful Video💯❤️🇺🇸💥
Thank you!!!!! Love your channel!
@@ThisDate Thanks My Patriot Brother!
👍👍👍
Lincoln was almost too good a man and almost too smart for his time. We still have much to learn from him and his example.
Beautifully said
Outstanding. I must listen again and take notes. Thank you for deeping our knowledge.
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for a really insightful presentation.
Thank you for watching❤️❤️❤️
Lincoln gave his speech after Everett had spoken, not before.
Good to know.
You are right, Sir
Absolutely right. When Everett finished, everyone was expecting Lincoln to give another long speech. Many chose to quickly step away for a drink, or to use the facilities. Also, thats when photographers took a minute to reset their equipment. By the time people returned, and the photographers cameras were ready, Lincoln was already finished. Just about every member of the press covering the event thought the speech fell flat.
After Lincoln spoke, Everett said to him "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."
Yes, the often-quoted criticism of the speech was from the Chicago Times, who dismissed the address as “silly, flat and dishwatery”.
Yet another case of the plague of distracting noise over narration.
Music is a touch loud. Otherwise what did you think?
I understood what he said fine .
You always have one liberal idiot!!!
Good. But music should be softer and more compassion
Lasted to 3:33 before quitting.
The background music killed this piece.
I kmow
Beautiful video. Thank you!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That speech didn’t have one bit of fat on it.
Ha so true! 272 words! Amazing right?
@@ThisDate 👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Exactly, it's perfect! Makes me believe that The Lord was inspiring Lincoln
👍
Nick your video is excellent but for a person my age who wears hearing aids the music is detracting.
Yea its a little loud. Sorry about that
I don’t wear hearing aids and the music is distracting to me also.
Lose the music or turn the volume down.
Yea its a little loud.
What did you say😆
Background music is too loud - but love the education! Thank you ❤
Thanks!
The Emancipation Proclamation had little effect in the US, but had an affect politically, causing European powers to back away from supporting the Confederacy as most of them had already ended slavery in their nations.
Good point!
Got it from the the book "This Hallowed Ground". Interesting view on the Civil War as 'a national heritage'.
Excellent!
I believe that this is a common oversimplification. While it is true that the Proclamation only went into effect in the areas that were in active rebellion on January 1, 1863, and thus freed no slave on that day, it was perhaps Lincoln's hope and intent that as the Union forces made advances in the coming months, more and more slaves would find freedom and thus help the Union cause. That in fact happened, particularly in 1864 when Sherman brought such large swaths of Southern land under Union control on his march to the sea that the Freedman became a bit of a logistical burden to the military forces.
Once again you ignore black history. Thousands of blacks left plantations to follow the Union soldiers crippling production of food and everything else in the South. It totally destroyed the foundation of the South by weakening it and causing its downfall in the end."No effect..." Nonsense.
Lincoln was the greatest president that ever lived
I agree!
In that day back then . the speech would be published by the newspapers. I believe it was then that you could see the clarity of the words and thoughts. To this day a model for people giving (good) speeches. My Thoughts Anyway.

He re-wrote it with corrections on the train. The copy still exists.
Yes he did!
What did he really say? “Are we there yet”
Said every kid in the back seat!
Pretty interesting narrative, I learned a few new things. I have very poor hearing and that music rolling through the narration is so distracting. Please consider turning it down, or off.
Good feedback
A presidental term no politican would ever aspire to after what we now know. Sitting president overseeing a CIVIL WAR between north and south.. its been said that the recent popularity of the telegraph had altered the habit of verbose letter writing . Never before could communication be so quick and conversely kept brief as possible. Im sure LINCON had seen his share of letters snd dispatches during his presidential bid and going forward. Then to compose an address of 268 words and be excused from the podium is something of a first for any presidential speech up until that time. And what a magnificent historic couple of paragraphs. Suddenly americans from all walks wanted a personal copy to own . And the brevity that made it a bestseller must have been a factor.
Well said!
GREAT video, music was a little overpowering.
Yea music can come down a bit. Thank you❤️
Another well narrated video. Always informative and entertaining. Thank you again. Over 6000 views and 273 like to date. I wish I understood how that’s possible.
Thank you❤️❤️❤️ my favorite video!
Beautiful video Nick. 🙏🏽
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've heard that Lincoln's remarks were so brief that there is only one photo of Lincoln at the event.
True!
And We Are Not a Pure Democracy,
But a Constitutional Republic.
Correct
I don’t drive an automobile. I drive a car. I don’t have a spouse, I have a wife. We don’t have a democracy, we have a Constitutional Republic! “Pure Democracy” is just that real specific thing they do in New England and Ancient Greece, and nothing else can be called democracy. Ever. Not even voting for the people who represent you.
Masterfully described summary.
Thank you❤️❤️❤️ really appreciate that. 🙏🏼
Who is the narrator?
Me!!! Nick Ragone!!!!!!
your background music is way too loud compared to your voice
Yea its been noted
Music is quite a distraction. Could not make it past 3 min..
Yea we reshot it without music. Gonna post next week.
Here's a sneak preview: czcams.com/video/_du0gilYuxQ/video.html
the Music was too loud. The words are as golden and Abraham's address. I'm am a hard rock confederate yet I knew that slavery had to come to an end. It's just that a little more empathy from the self righteous abolitionists would have helped the south with it's problem of slavery. NOt to mention the horror that a little more compassion could have prevented such devastation.
Thank you, good feedback!
The emancipation did have impact in Europe. It kept England and France from intervening.
Good point!
Please lose the music or turn it WAY down. It is making the content hard to actually hear and therefore want to be listened to.
I know, I know. Too loud. We goofed.
Kill the music. Or at least turn it way down.
Yea we missed the mark on that for sure.
How does it work? Write nice speech, record speech, but before uploading to youtube, add loud music as to not allow people to understand speech? That's how it works?
Yes we've heard. Message received.

Amazing right? Share this video!
Nobody ever talks about him saying stay away and let this town be the locals they will take care of it they don't need more houses and stores will he should have if he didn't great video
Interesting will look into it.
The over modulated crummy music subtracted from what otherwise might have been an informative video. Thumbs down.
🎼🎼🎼
Get rid of the annorying piano background. Your words are much more important.
Yes our bad
your rhetoric is a lot of bull
How so?
What he really said:
“Glad there ain’t nobody still shootin’!!!”
Haha maybe he muttered that under his breadth!
