- Today, its a wildly held feeling that Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address is one of the greatest speeches in US history--seen as a defining moment that symbolized the ideals of the nation; however, at the time, not everyone felt that way.

Lincoln's concise words, contrasting with the much longer speech by Edward Everett, was met with mixed reception. The reaction from newspapers and the public varied, reflecting the political and social divisions of the time.
Especially controversial was Lincoln's emphasis on the Declaration of Independence's principles of equality. Lincoln had broadened the cause of the Civil War. The fight was now for universal freedom and justice. Even some in the North criticized the President for taking a such a hard stance against the institution of slavery.

This dude is gonna blow up eventually, I'm calling it. His videos have very unique premises, and a lot of it is stuff I've wondered myself and couldn't find a quick answer to.
i know! and he puts so much research into it and works extremely hard
He better get a bomb proof suit then.
Hi there, a long time supporter from India, can you do a video of generals who stayed loyal to the union during civil war like George Thomas, Winfield Scott, David Farragut, Robert Anderson, Montgomery Meigs etc. Especially George Thomas being a slaveholder ending up the biggest supporter of rights of newly freedmen.
This is a good idea my guy...
Winfield Scott was too old and fat by that Civil War roll up. He kicked the bucket in 1865. He rode horseback with President Madison while damn British burnt the hell out of D.C. Not a proud moment in our national defense when a raiding party from few boats can burn your fracking capital to the ground.
I like that idea and added it to my list of topics. Generally I stick to presidents, but I'm definitely not against branching out here and there.
Can you do a video on each president job before the take the office
Just subbed! Great video! Look forward to more.
November 19th, 1863 Abraham Lincoln Delivered _The Gettysburg Address_
0:35 The Speech by Edward Everett.
1:02 + BIG SUCCESS - CONFUSION - FAILURE
1:12 The Springfield Republican Paper called Lincoln's Speech a "Perfect Little Gem. Deep in feeling, compact in thought and expression, and tastefuly and elegant in every word and comma." (beautiful praise from Everett to Lincoln)
1:45 The Democrat Paper called it -Flat - Dishwatery Utterances.
1:58 All Men are Created Equal.
3:16 To Uphold This Constitution.
3:49 Preservation of The Union.
4:54 Sara Meyers, 19 Year Old attendant.
- Was there an Applause? Sara reported Silence.
5:12 "The New York Times was a Leading Republican Newspaper." in 1863.
5:32 "A Hurricane of Applause!"
6:05 Joseph A. Golden, 18-year old Teacher.
7:16 A Speech of Only 10 Sentences may have been a Surprise. Lincoln wasn't known for giving Short Speeches.
7:58 A Few Appropriate Remarks.
8:22 Everett believed Lincoln was
- too extreme
- too inexperienced.
8:37 - An inferior cast of character to the crisis.
9:03 Rival of Abraham Lincoln
9:25 "Most ordinary kind."
9:42 BUT Everett approved of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
9:56 Courteousy between 2 Men on the same side but at odds at times.
11:03 Abraham Lincoln started working on The Gettysburg address in July 1863.
11:42 Lincoln was likely ill under a minor case of SmallPox at the time.
I love these types of videos great job 👏
I've enjoyed the speech. Nice to see the contemporary reactions.
I wonder if a good topic would be Presidents whose remains were disinterred or moved, where there were/are, and why?

Interesting topic!
Have you have any plans to do with MrBeat...?
I really like your videos! I have a random idea you might want to consider for a future video.
Presidents other achievements. Like how William Howard Taft was on the Supreme Court or how Regan was an actor.
Perhaps the short length of his speech felt like an insult to the crowd
I agree. The previous speaker's speech was two hours! Who could remember that/
6:06 James Cameron?
Random thought, do you have a list of sources?
I thought the battle of Antietam was the bloodiest day in American history?
In addition to his calling attention to the Declaration of Independence by invoking all men being created equal, he calls out the beginning of the country as the year the Declaration was signed. 4 score and 7 years ago, 87 years. 1863 - 87 = 1776. I had a history teacher that claimed that this helped cement 1776 as the origin of the United States, even if the Constitution was 2 years later.
The Constitution was ratified 12 years later, not 2.

I disagree. Lincoln was only addressing saving the union with this short statement not touching on the nerve that was slavery.
Every word in his speech was a lie. Also Lincoln never freed a single slave, even when he could. Also Lincoln disliked blacks and was the head of the group that worked to remove blacks from the US when he was in office in Ill. He continued this effort until he died. Before the war the North had sold or freed their slaves, but they were not allowed to work in nearly all of the northern states. Freed slaves worked everywhere in the South before the war. There were around 800,000 freed slaves in the US before the war, but they could only work in the South.
When Lincoln gave his speech that set off riots in NYC that had to be put down with cannon of the US forces. Draft dodging all over the north increased dramatically.
lol, actually everything YOU just said was a lie, or a distortion of historical events as they happened. But nice try, you Confederate descendant.
Please pronounce the word “account” correctly
they did not react at all. End of the video
Do you think a possible vid on the history of the Longest lived Us presidents could happen
Yes, I'm definitely planning on it.
@@resyndicated Let's go, looking forward to that
I'm going to do that video pretty soon. In just a few days, Biden will pass up Nixon and make his way to number ten on the list so I'm waiting until then.
@@resyndicated Sounds great
