>> abraham lincoln is devastated by the 13th amendment's defeat in the house.sident only wants to end slavery break the back of the confederacy, but the truth is that lincoln's thinking has evolved since his days as a gradualist, only wanted to stop the spread of slavery. now, for him, the war is no longer about the states's differing interpretations of the constitution or simply doing whatever is necessary to preserve the union. it's about fulfilling the promise that america was founded on -- the promise of freedom and equality. >> winning the war, mr. president, is how we will end slavery. we cannot have one without the other. >> and just now it seems that we can't have either. >> people began to call the war a failure. the confederates are still holding out at richmond. plante, a democrat, did want to give the south a deal, allow slavery to continue, and perhaps there could be a negotiated peace. it's at those moments that abraham lincoln began to despair that he would achieve re-election. >> forward, march! >> after the overland campaign, lincoln begins to

washington, daniel webster, henry clay, abraham lincoln. they were the ones in favor of strong, vigorous, energetic government. they were the ones promoting the government as a means of building up our economic life. i mean, abraham lincoln was not a strict constructionist. so these things, i find, can be illuminating when you compare and contrast in that way. >> so let me just try one more question. you end with pairing of jackson and scalia. i want to ask you about scalia who is, of all the figures that you cover, the one who could have known about all the others. untoutedly did -- undoubtedly did know about them. would you say, yes, he had the most kinship with justice jackson, or is there some other figure that you think he would have, you know, found most inspiring? and i'll just mention that i was in his chambers once, and he had a portrait of felix frankfurter.

and that was hardly a jolt of confidence for abraham lincoln who is standing for reelection. against the backdrop of this grisly campaign. bleeding, bankrupt, almost die in country, horace greeley, the editor of the new york ,ribune wrote, longs for peace shudders at the prospect of fresh inscriptions, a further wholesale -- devastations come of new rivers of human blood. lincoln withwas editorial pages like that, that he was going to lose his bid for late august,at in he penned a memorandum that he asked his candidate members to sign blindly, they were not permitted to read the contents of the memo, this is what the memo said. morning, as for some days past, it seems exceedingly probable that this administration will not be reelected. duty to soll be my cooperate with the president-elect who is likely to be george mcclellan so as to save the union between the election and the inauguration. of necessity come the melancholy work of the war went on. the danger of an enemy sharp shoulder in no way -- eight -- --.nemy sharp shooter at night, a great many pickets went out was enou

when abraham lincoln issued yet another call, another plea for volunteers, citizen soldiers, in 1862, this 22-year-old lad with a clean shaven face, piercing eyes and a permanent nose, he faced what was in his mind, and in his honor-bound culture, a rather stark choice. either enlist, or in his words, , by backing liver out. so he mustered into company i of the 17th maine volunteers that first week of august 1860 two. 2. he pocketed a handsome bounty along the way. not unlike a lot of other northern units raised in the late summer, early fall of 1862, the 17th maine was rather quickly rushed to the front. the transition from citizen to soldier was breathless. at the front, john haley would rather suddenly faced tedious drills and seemingly interminable picket duties. that fall of 1862, as you know, the army of the potomac had a new commander. the memorably-whiskered ambroise. he wasted little time drawing up plans for a campaign on the rappahannock river. and almost predictably, as if to mock the federal war effort, burnside's plans came to grief it at december of 1862 in a costly bat

abraham lincoln who was elected in 1860 as a republican.e ran against southern democrats who chose to protect slave owners. this is correct. and a high school history class by the way, would have told you that. the key thing to know is that over the next 100 years the parties would swap positions on race and civil rights. the great depression in 1929 marked a big shift for black voters who left lincoln's republican party. it was franklin delano roosevelt's wife, eleanor, who pushed anti-lynching legislation while fdr himself created the fair employment practices committee, which banned discrimination against of african americans in the defense industry. and by 1948 democratic presidential candidate harry truman runs on a pro-civil rights platform that calls for integrating the armed forces and ending discrimination for federal employees. that caused the departure of many southern democrats from the democratic party. in 1968 it was richard nixon's southern strategy that recognized the racial tensions during the civil rights movement and inte

our 16th president abraham lincoln once declared emphatically that it is not the years in your life but the life in your years. when i think of what it means to be an american or what it means to embody american exceptionalism, when i think of all that is and should be an american i think of abraham lincoln. all my life his story has propelled me forward. he was the common man who became an uncommon leader. an ordinary man with an extraordinary desire. a man that lived full. he was born in kentucky, raised in indiana and grew up in illinois. no elementary school, no high school, no public education. everything he learned was himself. he was a physically strong man a wrestler who never backed down when challenged. the things that defined abraham lincoln perseverance, strength, character and courage, they are the quality that we need everywhere around us. lincoln lost his mother. he lost his job. he lost a sibling. he lost three of his four children. he lost six elections he failed his business and his first love died. he had a poor recent relationship with his father but lincoln was a ti

he then evaded a massive movement designed by abraham lincoln to destroy him. and then when everybody on both sides thought he had no choice but to flee, he turned on two jaws of the concert, two union armies, and beat them in succession. but he did more than drive union valley troops. he knocked the entire offensive against richmond off-balance. at one point the threat of jackson was perceived to be so dire, he created even a minor panic in washington, dc. all of this made him famous, in a warmer techniques of marching and fighting were being reinvented literally hour-by-hour, jackson's intelligence speed and , aggression with the wonders of north and south alike. he was the talk of salons in

things that define abraham lincoln, perseverance, strength, character and courage, they are the qualities that we need everywhere around us. lincoln lost his mother, he lost his job, he lost his sibling, he lost three of his four children, he lost six elections, the failed in business, his first love died. hes a a par relationship with his father. but lincoln was a titan, and titans never give up. their hearts are too big to fail. their passion, too intense to deny. their spirit, irrepressible, lincoln refused to see himself as a victim. yet, he couldn't get out of bed at one point for six months. but he rallied. he fought against it. per sir veered. he pushed and scratched and clawed to get back up. to try again, one mow round. get up! he told himself, time and time again. lincoln ran toward his dreams. he was relentless. unstoppable, unwaiverring, unyielding, a force of nature. and in the end, despite all the lost, all the misfortune, despite all the tragic and all the disappointment, he rose to be president abraham lincoln. a man america needed at a critical time. a man that still rema

in 1863, president abraham lincoln urged americans to pray so that in his words, the united cry of the nation would be heard on high and answered with blessing. 1952, president harry truman and the congress formally established this national day of prayer. the time set aside each year for the american people to turn to god in prayer and meditation. to celebrate the day, last year, president trump gathered faith leaders across what he would call this nation of faith. including many of you here today. in that moment, he took decisive action. to ensure in his words, that the federal government will never ever penalize any person for their religious beliefs again.
