Loved Nancy’s book and the interview. Ty!

We must uphold our democracy 💯, we are in troubled times, trump is a cancer to our democracy

my daughter in law i hate she taken my son right over to point i do not feel like he my son any more

they love each other and supported each other there life was sad losing children so young

I enjoyed this immensely! Wonderfully done, as if I were listening to the real Mary Todd Lincoln.

Thank you for a wonderful, informative discussion. The series of Lincoln’s Lyceum Address as well as the Lincoln Presidential Foundation’s Fourscore Speaker Series are well done and great resources!

HAIL GENERAL CHAMBERLAIN!!! TERRIFIC BOOK!

Great actress...to be pedantic..born in Lexington, Kentucky and living there as a child, couldn't we expect a little Southern accent. She was an academic and spoke fluent French so maybe the drawl could have been extinguished somewhat.

Hi Jessie!

43:23 MTL wrote extensively about her health, to the point of probably being a hypochondriac (and Robert showed signs of this too). All the Chicago newspapers printed the medical testimonies of the doctors at MTL’s insanity trial. There is zero evidence that her insanity was caused by medications. MTL did try to commit suicide. At Bellevue Place, the 4 months of Daily Progress Reports still exist and they were published In the 1970s. There was zero mention of medications in those reports (no signs of giving medications or having withdrawal symptoms)

27:40 When writing non-fiction, It is necessary to go to the original sources/archives (letters, newspaper articles, government documents, etc.). Never trust other books as a primary source. Too often, the citation/quote is not accurate: it is taken it out of context, cherry picked, phrases cut in half just to make the author’s point. This phenomenon is extremely prevalent with civil war history and especially the history of the Lincolns. 29:37 It is false that RTL bribed the judge and jury in MTL’s trial so that he could steal her money. Jean Baker completely made that up. 31:03 There is zero evidence that MTL was Lincoln’s closest advisor. She was not a co-president. W. A. Evans is one of the best biographers of MTL, but he did a poor job stating his sources.

26:36 When Robert went off to Harvard, he sent a bunch of pictures of himself to a girl in Springfield, telling her to share them with a bunch of other girls in town. 27:06 Before his father’s murder, Robert “was hilarious”. He loved to tell jokes, He told stories just as well as his father did. After the assassination, only his very closest friends continued to see that side of him.

My understanding, mantua makers (female) draped the cloth on the customer to cut the dress; tailors (male) drafted the pieces of the dress from measurements.

I have really enjoyed the discussions with Dr. White. I’m going to be adding his books to the Lincoln section of my personal library, including this children’s book. Thank you! ☺️

She was nutty as a bedbug. She should have talked about her seances.

Chemise, petticoat

The best speech,absolutely straight from her heart, madam thank you

Great acting. As true to mrs Lincoln as we will ever see. But that's just my opinion.

Outstanding session - had signed up to attend virtually but was unable. Very glad it is posted online.

Good to hear from Ron White!

Interviewer was extraordinary

Neat

After watching this, I went to read that speech. Put aside the old styled grammar and sentences and it could have been written today.

A great program and definitely timely. Lincoln lives on through the ages

Timely !

So exciting!

We don't have a democracy and were never intended to have a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic and Lincoln knew that.

This is going to be fantastic! I can't wait to watch it!

Don't forget about 15% of non white slave owners. Not all slave owners were white.

It is interesting that biographers downplay the author of scripture when Lincoln quotes it. "A house divided against itself cannot stand". Matthew 12:25, Mark 3:25. I would say that the author of scripture was the planter of the idea and to attribute it to Lincoln is to make him a plagiarist.

I love documentaries, and this is a stellar production highlighting one of our greatest presidents! Well done!

I am imagining myself having tea with Mrs. Lincoln while she tells her story. I am a widow too. I understand the emptiness. I wish I could hop in a time machine and just listen and be a friend.

Good stuff here to be sure, but I have one minor complaint. Why do we keep seeing an actor portraying a bearded Lincoln when we're learning about events of 1850? Mr. Lincoln didn't grow his whiskers, as Grace Bedell called them, until late 1860.

Very enlightening. I'm surprised that this is the first comment. In 1838 Lincoln gave a speech which included the following:- "At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." I've been listening to an audio book titled "The Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future by Stephen Marche", which I have so far found quite interesting.

Not a major thing, but Lincoln did not let his whiskers grow until just before he became President (after his election in Nov. of 1860)

What an interesting discussion! I really enjoyed the back-and-forth between the two authors, with them running the conversation. Very informative!

Sadly, you will never get my fellow Republicans to see things in the mid 1800s the way y'all teach it. or radical Democrats for that matter. This country has totally lost its collective mind.

Well done to the writers and filmmakers for the excellent job done on Warning Signs. And an excellent rendition of Lincoln by this actor.

What an interesting conversation! These interviews have given me several great resources to add to my personal library. ☺️

History has treated Mrs Lincoln very badly.....There are three things we know 1. she suffered unbelievable tragedy 2. She was a supreme patriot. 3. She loved her husband, undoubtable the most famous president, deeply,. Guiding him through the most traumatic period.....As a first lady I rank her right up there. Grifters such as H Clinton at the bottom.

The History Channel has a wonderful series on Grant. It makes you really look at him in a different way. I think his presidency is one of the most underrated ones.

When I was a kid back in the 70's, my family and I stayed in Lincoln's Cottage when we went to DC to visit my grandfather who lived in the "old soldier's home." All I remember about it are things a kid might remember: it was nice and cool (in the summer heat); it had thick walls (my memory exaggerates, but the interior walls were nearly a foot thick :); there were cannons out front where we used to climb on. At the same time we stayed there, a kind woman who was also staying there while she visited her father in the soldier's home gave my brother and me little bronze figurines of the Lincoln memorial and Jefferson memorial. Sounds like people don't stay over night there any more (while visiting retired soldier's). I consider myself fortunate to have this memory and glad to see the cottage being looked after today.

Interesting. Many things I did not know,

This interviewer is a natural journalist: negative, vicious and prejudiced against the interviewee. She has a future on ABC, CBS, ABC, CNN. They would pay you well for sedition, propaganda and slander.

ρяσмσѕм 😁

I was always curious as to why he always called her “mother” as well

What in the Beans?

Sweeet 😊 I love Lincoln, Lincoln the reason I still vote. Im am so SO grateful that a president cared it means a lot to me, a very great deal in fact.

spoiler alert !!!!!! They dont interview the real Mary Lincoln at any time during this broadcast nor do they include any videos of other interviews she had done so its pretty much left to your imagination while their puppet told these stories.

More of the story of the greatest president of all time. Thank you!
