I live in Lincoln's Hometown of Springfield, IL. I use to give tours here on the trolley. More than 10,000 people came to join the Funeral Procession out to Oakridge Cemetery. Which is amazing because the population of Springfield at the time was about 1, 000. He was an Exceptional Speaker and Phenomenal President. I wish he would have had the chance to be the President of the Union he restored. I still go out to the Tomb and pay my respects and say a prayer for the 16th President of the United States. Thanks for sharing. Jan
A beautiful tribute to one of the most extraordinary men that ever lived. His terrible death was a national tragedy and countless Americans mourned him and watched his funeral processions as they carried him through the states until he was back home again in Illinois.
Lincoln is everyone's idol, because He freed our country from slavery but John Wilkes Booth was NOT happy about it so he decided to shoot him at Ford's theater.
Abe Lincoln is one of the greatest men in history. If you think presidents have problems today, just imagine what things were like back in the 1860's when the country was divided and at war. Lincoln kept us together and freed the slaves. His speeches were legendary even then and crowds flocked to see him. When he died, the nation cried. George Vreeland Hill
This March was played on Music Choice with rendition by pianist Denver Oldham, thereby encouraging me to research this fine March. I find it equal to Overture of 1812. What a thrilling tribute to one of our finest REPUBLICAN presidents!
Greatest president? Let's see. He declared war on the already seceeded 7 southern states when Congress was out on vacation. They probably would have blocked him. He caused the governors of 4 mid southern states, Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina and Virginia to join the already seceeded states bringing the number to 11. He illegallly declared a blockade against the southern coastline thereby breaking international maritime law. He imprisioned the entire state legislature of Maryland and the entire administration of Baltimore MD., without benefit of Habeas Corpus thereby violating the Fourth Constitutional Amendment. He imprisoned from 10,000 to 13,000 prisoners at different times including newspaper editors who disagreed with him and illegally arrested an Ohio Congressman, Clement Vallandigham, for also disagreeing with him, and who ultimately had to flee to Canada. He never freed anyone. He couldn't have freed the slaves in the four border states of MO., KY., MD., and DE because they too would have gone south. He certainly couldn't have freed the slaves in the existing Confederacy. After the Union armies had been getting beaten like a bongo drum during 1861 and 1862, he only used the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 as an excuse to dissuade the British from joining the Confederacy. He had 33 Native Americans of the Sioux Nation hung because they objected to being cheated out of 2 million dollars the government had paid them for their land. I could go on, but you get the point. (I hope.)
1. he declared war after Sumter was attacked 2. Those states were going to secede. 3. He did things during war to win the war 4. The British would never have 'joined' the south, that is absurd. 5. Claiming he didn't free any slaves is a bit absurd, yes technically his decrees didn't free anyone in the states that had seceded - but those states were defeated and then fell under his laws, thereby freeing everyone. 6. Most all of our presidents have screwed over the indigenous peoples of the land we now call home, calling out Lincoln for it seems a little odd. If anything, go yell about Jackson. How about this for a reason he was possibly the greatest president ever - after the war he let the southerners go home, he didn't occupy the south or hang all the rebels. How many leaders in history would have done that? How many of our presidents? I could go on but you get the point (I hope)
FUN FACT: Strange but true, in the photo which pops up @ 01:43 the little boy visible looking out the second-floor window of the house is future President Theodore Roosevent.
He is what amarica needs today he was a good president then but I think if he was president today he would have been amazing he wanted everyone to have the same equal opportunity and rights as we all should.
Too the later 19th century American '"good grey poet" Walt Whitman's long meditative poem on your long, long funeral cortege, "Lilacs That Once in the Dooryard Bloomed."
"Now he belongs to the ages'...missquote - he actually said, 'now he belongs to the angels'. At the moment of death the vicar present had said a prayer that ended ...'and may angels sing him to heaven'....Stanton spoke next and clearly used this theme for what he said..
Make no mistake, all of the great presidents including Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt would have been Democrats today...and no, Reagan was not one of them.
He executed 33 Native American leaders of a Native American Uprising in Minnesota because they got angry that the U.S. Government had cheated them out of 2 million dollars after stealing their land. The local Sioux tribes got together and staged a fairly frightening uprising until the state militia and a few government troops defeated them. They captured around 300 which the great tyrant wanted to hang but was dissuaded by members of his government that it would look bad. Instead he hung 33 as an example. The U.S. Government never did give the land back.
Dammit, not this shit again. This is completely irrelevant to the video. I agree that we shouldn't eliminate races by mixing, but c'mon now. This is unrelated.

Indeed.
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Lincoln. You're alive.
This is the most haunting and scariest melody .
The Funeral of Abraham Lincoln was 2nd largest funeral in history to date with 7 million people attending all over the country.
How are you here?
7 million people joining commemorations in the US on the day of his funeral? That's an amazing number, I'm surprised that isn't more well known.
What a beautiful march, for my fallen father.
RIP My favorite President. This music is lovely and sad. :(

Yes. But the Republican party was a liberal party in the 1860s ....
How the mighty has fallen!

Very nicely done
Wow, remember listening to this on vinyl.
That would have been something to behold
"Now he belongs to the Ages"
Now he belongs to the ages
Also in the video 1:43 you can see Theodore Roosevelt In the top left corner of the open window. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865).

@GeorgeVreelandHill Not only that, the nation was splitting apart. He held it together and died for his efforts.
I remember that day as if it was yesterday.
Who composed this music? I'd love to get a copy, if possible.
RIP Honest Abe
3:00 is there a swastica on Lincoln's coffin?
it is the symbol of posterity and good luck
Nice story
All that for a president? Imagine the queens funeral 😦😦😦
One can only hope.
is he died?
yes
Sounds like something that should be in a horror movie
Lost to confederate bullet
He would of hated all the pomp and circumstances of this
Make no mistake, all of the great presidents including Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt would have been Democrats today...and no, Reagan was not one of them.
That’s utterly ridiculous! Lincoln and Roosevelt were republicans
Didn't he just signed off on 37 to 42 presidential orders.. executing tribal natives of various territories before he got his?
He executed 33 Native American leaders of a Native American Uprising in Minnesota because they got angry that the U.S. Government had cheated them out of 2 million dollars after stealing their land. The local Sioux tribes got together and staged a fairly frightening uprising until the state militia and a few government troops defeated them.
