I live 10 minutes from his birthplace and about 15 from his boyhood home. This man is one of the most fascinating men in history. From a cabin on the frontier to changing the directory of the human race. Had he not kept the Union together.....what world would we live in now?
@@rc123theycallmeI’ll bite. Why do you think the world would be better? Why was Lincoln twisted and in what sense? Because in some ways you are right that he suffered from mental illness pretty much his entire life. But I think I have a feeling you aren’t referring to that. So let’s hear it. You said the more you learn, implying you’ve got sources you been learning from. Share your sources.
The Greatest Documentary Series (or Documentary in general) ever made about Abraham Lincoln. I've seen several spanning decades, even the best, and this rises above them all.
@lifestoriesinterviews Absolutely, and I still mean it! :D And I hope you all get around to restoring and releasing the 1995 P.T. Barnum documentary with Karl Malden that you guys created ;)
I agree with you Jim Plummer. Erasing history does not increase our knowledge or wisdom. It's important to understand what we've been in order to understand who we are.
Sou brasileiro e tenho grande admiração por homens como Lincoln, Whashington, Franklin e John Adams. São homens que fizeram Os Estados Unidos serem o grande país que é hoje. Mais pelo bom caráter do que pela ambição e, apesar dos defeitos que possuíssem, o cerne de seu caráter era bom e acredito que sua razão e seu espírito sabiam que Deus existe.
1:54 Again and Again. The Great American Story. 2:43 A Man Who Stepped Forth Out of The Wilderness. 2:58 February 12th, 1809. 4:58 Chicago 1860, The Republican National Convention.
I can understand why he would say that the challenge he had to face was greater than that of Washington. Washington had more people in the country supporting him...the colonies were united. By the time of Lincoln there were two Americas, union and confederate...Not many wanted to assassinate Washington.
one very cold afternoon i came in and caught the end of this. Dec, 1992. 6 weeks later, i watched the Phil Donahue show on Feb. 12. 1993. Lincoln's birthday. the subject was What happens when cousins marry.
Hands down this is the best documentary of Lincoln ever made and I am glad there is an assessable version here on RUclips as I only have cherished copies on VHS and Laser disc. 💜
Please give it a chance. Or find a better quality version. But I just finished watching all four parts, and I'm telling you this is truly one of, if not, the best Lincoln documentaries ever made. It should be the definitive documentary.
It is so heartbreaking that the republicans allowed trump and the magas to destroy the party of our great President Abraham Lincoln. Praying for my country and so thankful to my father who served in the Army in WWII and my brother and husband who served honorably during the difficult Vietnam era. I proudly honor my husband who served in the Air Force and my brother who served in the Navy on the Ticonderoga. Thank you, President Lincoln for your great service and sacrifice and to all who have honorably served our great nation.
The Republican party of Lincoln was destroyed long before Tre45on and his MAGAt cultists. Does your political education include what's known as the Southern Strategy?
@@gerrymcguire7521 Perhaps so. But a good chunk of the "facts" in this video are actually false. Too many for me to list. It's best to learn from more recently produced videos, or better yet - actual books.
Abraham Lincoln described hiimself as a man of dark Complexion in his autobiography. " any personal description of me is thought desirable, it may be said, I am, in height, six feet, four inches, nearly; lean in flesh, weighing on an average one hundred and eighty pounds; dark complexion, with coarse black hair, and grey eyes--no other marks or brands recollected. Therefore, your images are not true and accurate pictures. Please tell the people the truth.
38:12 George McClellan was an unfortunate choice. Vain, insubordinate, cowardly, sympathetic to the enemy and lacking in situational awareness. The last qualities you want in a military commander.

A better world. A better continent.
The more I learn, the more I realize Lincoln was deeply twisted…

The one that CNN did was pretty good. I watched it on Max.
Thank you so much! Your comment means so much to us here at Life Stories :)

This the best series I've seen about Lincoln. Well done.
Thank you for saying that. I'll give it my fill attention.
lincoln is so badass Darth Vader narrates his documentary
He saved America.
He ruined America

@@tonymallers9628 so who is it that's erasing history
Leadership and being good at sales, strategy and helping people rise. It’s amazing how many pieces of stories.
Great documentary! Loved the choice of voices! I know them all! Arnold was a little weird though!

Abraham Lincoln's professional focus prior to 1860 was to capitalize on the spirit of 'Manifest Destiny' to the benefit of sectional interests.
I'm not even from USA but this doc is good

In middle America removed from kids gardens ± American history from curriculum from schools but we have to face the truth also...

Abe definitely had some black ancestry. And I am not saying that in any negative way. Just wish it wasn't in question.
very interesting and really enjoyed the interviews with former POTUS' c/o Kunhardt foundation.
best and wishes and kind regards , from Scotland 2024 +
Any chance of parts 3 & 4 ? Would be nice :) 👍
The music wasn't loud enough. I think I was able to make out a few words.
With all the threats against him it's kinda surprising he lasted as long as he did. Hate is such a waste of time and energy
They don't make documentaries like this anymore! Makes me think of being a kid watching these types of documentaries in school.
Ok, so the loud music is a little overbearing. But still an excellent documentary.
Why are people silent on his genocide against Indians?
Because people have been brainwashed into thinking he was a great man and backing the federal government,which is there worse enemy
I never left my state or city to see anything of history they treat me so horrible

Burgess Meredith!
Lose the score! Can’t hear narrator
He said his grandfather was kll by the Indians. He was also assassinated 😢keep resting President Lincoln 🙏
Is that ARNOLDs voice i hear ? LOL
Is this the voice from the lion king and the terminator
Any man can proclaim something. It took 100 years and a man called LBJ to realise emancipation.
12:40 why Arnold Schwarzenegger?
🤣 i knew it!!!!
that was a good laugh.
that's me. i sure did a lot.
The music is way to loud, I can barely here the documentary, I'll just skip this one

He was quite liberal for his time, especially as opposed to the southern conservatives.

From the poorest of backgrounds, the highest series of failures to the most consequential president of USA.

In the 32 years since this first aired, a lot of facts have been revealed and myths proven false.

Where's the part where Lincoln wanted to spend all of our money at the gay bar?
Huh???
Lincoln was America’s first dictator…
