A Conversation with Allen Guelzo 

I love Allen Guelzo, not only for being the superb historian and writer that he is, but even more so for being the Calvinist that he is. I devour every book and article that he writes, including for Banner of Truth and the Scottish Reformation Society Bulwark.

Dr Guelzo's judgment that a lack of interest in history betrays an incuriosity about God in the person who has no such interest is fascinating, something I'd never considered. Remarkable.

I'd like to hear what Guelzo says today (in 2024) about how bad the division is. This video was made before we had our first non-peaceful transition of power.

Dr. Guelzo explains the crux of the matter clearly and succinctly in the first few minutes.

At 18:45 I would add WWII as a time of giants; FDR, Marshall, King, Ike, Patton, MacArthur...

We don’t make a particular personality the target of our mud slinging. I like that. Would God that it were true now on August 2020. We now hope for an honest election year!Lincoln was a real leader in those turbulent times. Seward was a huge help. He had to use all sorts of emergency measures, because of the war. He accomplished very much with all of the challenges.

Did President Lincoln speech at Gettysburg & President Franklin Roosevelts to enter us in World War 2 speech had both equal are not?

Is that a 2nd Corps, Army of Potomac lapel pin on his jacket?

Current events say that the war Guelzo describes so eloquently is not over: Appomattox in the same vein as Versailles but in an entirely American sense with the past as prologue; last American Civil War shooting in anger battle (in Philip Sheridan's 5th military district) on 11/22/1963 taking the presidency in coup d'etat from Yankee Boston to Confederate Texas.

John Quincy Adams was roght about Jackson.

This guy sounds like courtier. A Lincoln hagiographer. The southern states has every right to secede from the union when they believed that their vital interests were threatened by a tyrannical federal government.
