All the photos of Lincoln portrayed himself very serious and sad, then you had him smile, beautifully. And I smiled!

@smartprocesssolutions748 3 года назад

It was like that in all photos of that period, no smile and the reason why? Exposure time and focusing.

@alvexok5523 3 года назад

@@smartprocesssolutions748 Yes. I used to think the people didn't smile in photos in the 19th century because their lives were too hard and they were too unhappy to smile, even for a photo. But I learned that 1) they didn't smile because of exposure time and focusing, like you said. And 2) people were not all unhappy, in spite of harder times, because they knew how to carry a level of dignity about them and make the best of things better than many people today know how to do. And they did have fun sometimes, people did go to parties, gatherings, and festivals and had good times. And, they didn't call the 1890s The Gay 90s for no reason (Gay meaning happy back then, of course). Yes, life was hard, and not everyone was happy, but people weren't all as dour and bitter as the photos make it seem

This made me sad. He was 56 years old in the original photo. His face was prematurely aged. He must have suffered greatly over a divided nation.

@XXjg_ Год назад

First, it is suspected he was dying of a hereditary cancer syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2B. Secondly, regarding his concern for a “divided nation”, during his famous debates with Sen. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln explained to the crowd: "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races ... I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." Despite the political and military strategy implemented by 1862’s Emancipation Proclamation (which was not enforceable and only applied to confederate states; in the north, buying and selling slaves was illegal but owning them was not), Lincoln was no different than most white males, North and South, at the time. He was a white supremacist. Important to remember that it was the 13th Amendment in 1865, not the Emancipation Proclamation, that abolished slavery in the US.

@daveh9521 3 года назад

I became fascinated with the Civil War when I was a kid in the early 1960's during the Centennial, and have stayed connected to it ever since. I think your digital depiction of Lincoln is such a wonderful portrayal of the person. Because of the photography of the time, not just black and white, but having to sit for long exposures made any sort of "smile" or animated expression impossible. Lincoln was an imposing figure to begin with, and to the camera, he comes off as dark and brooding (because of the War, he was certainly that as well), but for anyone who knew him, he was much more than that. He was warm and friendly, with a great sense of humor, and loved to weave a story. His sarcasm, quips and anecdotes are legendary. I think, with this wonderful portrayal, you bring the sense of life without minimizing Lincoln in any way. The alternative versions are great, and I especially love the "elderly" Lincoln we never got to see. Well done, and a real pleasure to watch!

@@softshallow7435 with respect, and I can see you guys want this to be legit. However this face animation is a fantasy based on scanned modern actors (and actresses in his other videos). It departs drastically from the actual photo to some imaginary emotional romance of making Lincoln seem like John Boy Walton with a beard (that he didn't have) and 1930s glasses. I guess he does it for entertainment so he can do what he wishes. Every photo of Lincoln through the years...he is an ugly man. That's OK. Handsome doesn't equal character. However he probably never looked like John Boy and he definitely didn't look like young Henry Fonda. I think the visual closest Hoosier/Cracker actor to do the role was Dennis Weaver in a lackluster TV movie in the 70s.

@Parminder Singh Sidhu As with all celebrity, we often see what we want. Historical figures, even more so. I recommend that you read some of his biographies. Kind? At times, of course, and gentle, certainly with his family. But these were not traits that speak to the man. Considerate of others, strong belief in the Constitution and the rights of all men? Most certainly. But Lincoln had a short temper, and when younger he could and would brawl. Throughout his life, he most definitely did not “brook fools gladly” and with no tolerance for preying on the weak. His intelligence and strength - both inner and physical strength-and perseverance - these words I would choose to describe him over being “gentle and kind”. And it is beyond debate that he stood strong for the Union, where lesser men would have -and often did--falter. I agree though, with all of you, this short video does tug at one’s heartstrings.

Abraham Lincoln is my most loved and admired historical figure, and puts to shame the politicians of our day. I’ve read about him extensively, and watched a lot of film about him, too; but the end never changes, and it’s always so depressing to me. This, however, was a marvelous wonder and blessing. Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful man to life.

I have incredible regard for our Founding Fathers who gave us America but the ultimate in gratitude to the man who preserved our country and set us on the road to becoming even better. There will never be another Lincoln; pure of heart, the utmost integrity and honesty. God rest his beautiful soul.

Lincoln was a great man, he made some amazing accomplishments. Ending slavery was his greatest one. It's sad how Lincoln battled depression. They didn't have the therapy and medications for depression they have today. People had to just bear it raw. Even with physical pain, right? Opiate pain killers like oxycodone, methadone, and morphine didn't even exist until the late 19th century (at least a couple of decades after Lincoln died), it makes it hard to imagine how people managed all of their Civil War wounds without them. Many people did get themselves totally plastered drunk though, whisky was already around

@brailrice 3 года назад

Fun fact: when asked why he carried a constant look of seriousness, pain, and grief on face, and never smiled, Lincoln didn’t mince words when he said, ‘It’s pretty hard to feel good about life when you wake up everyday all too aware that everyone your surrounded by is a complete boot licking idiot. Quite honestly, having to deal with so many complete and total morons moment after moment, day after day, makes me wish someone would just put a bullet in my brain!’
