Beginning life in a log cabin in Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln has no idea he will end up in the White House. At 9, he takes a dangerous journey up the Ohio River to settle in Indiana with his family. Lincoln, encouraged to educate himself, does so by reading. As a ferryman, an experience with a lawsuit gets him interested in the law. A trip down the Mississippi River to New Orleans brings him into contact with a slave auction and helps shape his feelings against slavery. Abe Lincoln, feeling homely, awkward and unsure of his future, is a modest but ambitious youth, well-liked for his good-humored company but with no idea of how far his ambition will take him. Part of the Boyhood Series, which chronicles the childhoods of some of Americas most fascinating citizens. (2nd Edition) 14 minutes, color.

When Abraham Lincoln launched his military invasion of the Southern States to prevent their peaceful and democratic assertion of independence, he ushered in a radically different Union than the one the Founders intended. Whether it was slavery, tariffs, or a redefinition of Federal powers matters little. The question of whether we live in a voluntary government or a compulsory one, enforced at gunpoint, was answered with the death and maiming of almost a million Americans from 1861 to 1865. At the heart of the ever-encroaching State that we find ourselves living under is the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Every tyrant, from Karl Marx to Woodrow Wilson, FDR to Adolf Hitler, George W Bush and Barack Obama, have embraced the Lincoln mantle in both their writings and their actions. For Liberty to reemerge, the Lincoln myth must be shattered and exposed. Thanks for watching.
This is a tribute to the 16th President of the United States — Abraham Lincoln. This president has become more central to America’s image of itself than any chief executive before or after him. He has been called “Self-made man,” “savior of the union,” the “great emancipator” — he is perhaps the most beloved president in American History. The Music is from Ken Burn’s Documentary – “The Civil War” (1990). The Song is called “Ashokan Farewell”, which was composed by Jay Ungar. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!!!
One of the best tracks off of their new album “Strange Cousins From The West.” Pure class. (Not sure why there’s an extra couple of minutes of silence, must have messed up in the editing. Oh well)
