land of lincoln is certainly a springfield is the city of lincoln. his home is here the old state capitol where you get the house divided speeches here his o law offices are here and of course he's buried on the outskirts of town in oak ridge cemetery. so lincoln is extraordinarily important to the city of springfield. this museum was built in 2005 at open to the public it been a dream a long time of many folks here in central, illinois a presidential library for the greatest president the purpose of the library is very basic to preserve and pass on the legacy of abraham lincoln. he's a man who i think best encapsulated what it means to be american. what the whole idea of america is all about it is a freedom and equality an opportunity. we do put him on a pedestal rightly. but also he was a human being and he had great ambitions to do great things and he certainly succeeded in that. abraham lincoln was born in 1809 in kentucky. he lived there just for fear as he moved me six or seven up to indiana and lived through his teens in indiana. he grew up on

there were folks at the university of springfield our university of illinois at springfield who had their own view of what this project should be. perfectly you know entitled to that. and there had been some bad blood over the years. and i was naive enough. to think that it wouldn't spill off on me. all that, you know i could avoid. the institutional and individual disagreements that had taking place over time anyway. i've said you know, it's funny. i've said about every every job of you know, even difficult ones they all and they all presented challenges, you know, i am i was seen as an agent of change. which means you know from day one that to some people you your perceived as a threat. you know without any way intending to be such that you are cast as a polarizing figure. you know that. there are people. who want to impute? bad motives or just quite frankly the more successful you are. the more visible you become. the oldest lesson in the world the more likely there are people who resent you. either because your pictures in the paper and there's isn't. or your vision of an institution

and giving you news of springfield. so you can almost imagine lincoln sitting in the office thinking, oh, that guy, and oh, so and so is married, i'm glad to hear about the dog, just a reminder of a place that he was familiar with and loved. what's also striking about the letter, compared to some of the others you may see in jonathan's book and elsewhere, and particularly in presidential papers, is billy is not asking for anything. and that, to be honest, is a very big deal. you can imagine that was another relief to lincoln, that billy's not asking for the postmaster ship of springfield, because our presidential papers are now all online, and if you care to go peruse them, you'll see the bulk of presidents' papers are people asking them for jobs. it's a lot of patronage. in garfield's first week, you see him saying, will these people ever leave me alone. he's complimenting him and giving him a boost, i feel you're doing something good for african americans, for the nation, and you're the man for the job. that has to ha

first is his farewell speech to springfield delivered february 11, 1861. my friends, no one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. to this place, the kindness of these people i owe everything. here i have lived a quarter of a century and have passed from a young to an old man. here my children have been born and one is buried. i now leave not knowing when or whether ever i may return. with a task before me that which rested upon washington. is gritter -- greater than that which rested upon washington. without the assistance of that divine being, whoever attended him i cannot succeed. with that existence i cannot fail. trusting in him who can go with me and remain with you and be everywherefore good let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. to this -- to his care commending you as i hope in your prayers you will commend me. i bid you an affectionate farewell. notice the importance of faith to president lincoln in his farewell speech to springfield. i do believe the loss of faith amongst elected officials has bee

let's focus on lincoln's interaction with black people both in springfield and in washington, but the title of the book comes from a eulogy that frederick douglass delivered on june 1st 1865 in cooper union the premiere site in the country to give up major speech. and it was covered widely in the new york press, but it's been on accountably ignored by historians and anthologists of douglas's speeches. and in this remarkable speech he says abraham lincoln was preeminently the white man's president the first to rise above the prejudices of his time and his country by inviting me frederick douglass to the white house to consult on public affairs. lincoln was saying by that gesture that i am the president of the black people as well as the white and i mean to honor their rights as men and citizens. and it's a striking contrast to the speech. that is very well. known widely anthologized and commented on regularly and that is a speech he gave 11 years later. at the dedication of a statue the emancipation memorial in washington in which he said abraham lincoln was preeminently the white man'

and i am giving you news of springfield. so, you can almost imagine lincoln sitting in the office, thinking, oh, that guy. and oh, so and so. and i'd like to hear about the dog and there is something kind of a reminder about the place that he was familiar with and loved. that was also striking. what's also striking about the letter compared to others, and particularly in presidential papers, is he is not asking for anything. r and to be honest, that is a very big deal. you can imagine that was another relief for lincoln. that billy is not asking for the postmaster ship of springfield. because presidential papers are now all online. and if you dare to go peruse them, you will see that presidents, the bulk of their papers, particularly when they're president, are people asking them for jobs. it is a lot of patronage. and in the garfield papers, in the first week, you can already see him -- going, will these people never leave me alone? but he is not asking for anything. he complements him and it's basically giving him a boost

when his friend conklin broke to him asking him to come to springfield to speak to a republican grouplincoln wrote back and said he couldn't attend because the war was keeping him occupied, but he did send a letter and this is part of what the letter said looks could you hold that for me? this newfangled technology. i'm not sure i'm hoping to help be able. to pull this up and i'll put my specs on. thank you, lucas. just one second. i i'm always so impressed with the way he says this he says peace does not appear so distant as it did i hope it will come soon and come to stay and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. it will then have been proved that among free men. there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case and pay the cost and then there will be some black men who can remember that with that with silent tongue and clenched teeth and steady eye and well poised bayonet they have helped mankind on to a great to this great consummation while i fear there will be some white men unable to f

couldn't get up and give a speech in every town, herald wrote a great book about his travel from springfield to washington as president-elect stopping to give speeches and that was an opportunity. that was kind of a whistle stop after a campaign was over. but he also wrote letters to newspapers. he wrote public letters to an individual that he then released to the newspaper so that the people could read it. that limited him. he was also someone who haunted the telegraph office. and we saw a little bit in the movie that steven spielberg did with lincoln where he's in the telegraph office. often he would wait to hear, not quite in realtime, not like today, but sooner than it would have been possible for any of his predecessors to learn of events on the battlefield and then respond to them from there. so, he wasn't innovator in both of those respects. >> roosevelt did 998 news conferences in 12 years. two a week generally. and not just in the white house, but at hyde park and warm springs, on destroyers returning from the summit meetings in casablanca or realto when he was exalted, well, he was
