The Real Abraham Lincoln: His Story & Face Brought to Life with Motion and Color | Royalty Now 

Totally agreed with the OP.

Great appreciation for all those step moms that step up to the plate and become the mom a young boy/girl needs

@@deboraballes9044 Yes, indeed!! Stepdads, too. Brad Paisley wrote a song about stepfathers years ago called “He Didn’t Have To Be”. It was written about a friend’s good experience with his stepdad.

@@cak8132 😉👍

Yes. This was very moving. I wish our history (good and bad) would be taught and received presented this way. Just stellar. And I feel so very proud that we were blessed as a nation to call this man President.

An absolute inspiration to us all.

@@RoyaltyNowStudios you know he was inspired by Karl Marx.

@@bobson290 and he was a republican…

@@patrickparmer1648 I wonder what it meant to be republican back than, because what it means to be a democrats has changed for sure too.

@@bobson290 I wouldn’t consider him inspired by Marx as little evidence supports that. I do know they spoke on friendly terms though

I'd been to his grave a few times and learned of it from books about him as well.

Lots of our early founders had similar losses early in life. Think on it a bit and realize how blessed we are, and how lazy about our own lives and divine purposes.

He was a tyrant who butchered half the nation.

His eyes ! Spoke volumes

"I will say then that 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, that 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 living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the 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."--Abraham Lincoln, 1858 From Thomas J Dilorenzo's "Are There Limits to Lincoln Idolatry?" "More importantly, his lifelong actions prove that this was indeed his true belief. He voted against black suffrage in Illinois; opposed allowing blacks to testify in court in Illinois; voted against abolishing the slave trade in Washington, D.C. during his one term in Congress; supported the Illinois "Black Codes" that deprived the small number of free blacks who resided in the state of any semblance of citizenship; supported the "Corwin Amendment" to the Constitution that would have formally enshrined slavery in the U.S. Constitution; and spent his entire adult life advocating "colonization" or the deportation of black people from the U.S. He was one of the "managers" of the Illinois Colonization Society which sought to use state tax dollars to deport free blacks out of the state." "The prejudice of the race appears to be stronger in the States that have abolished slavery, than in those where it still exist; and nowhere is it so intolerant as in those States where servitude has never been known."--Alexis De Tocqueville

It's all make believe. Lincoln was a bloody tyrant. "I will say then that 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, that 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 living together on terms of social and political equality.

Mine were filled throughout the video. Greatest man who ever lived, that’s what Lincoln was. Maybe the world and time he lived in pushed that on him. Damn though, I’d love to be 1/10 the man he was.

Yes, you’ve nailed it. His life speaks volumes with real feelings and heroism.

@@ZezimaMills lol

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

@@rhizomove6631 Please explain “13th”, thanks. You mean the Documentary on the 13th Amendment. Right?

@@ZezimaMills Yes. Thank you!.

What an amazing story you have, KatieRose............living and working in places where Abe Lincoln had lived and worked......Thank you for sharing your story.....I was born on February 12t, 1946 and named Lynn for him....so I've always felt close to him but never visit anyplace where he had lived.....I'm inspired to go there when I can..

@@lilithrogers5204 wonderful that you share a birthday with him. I also worked in Alton, IL 15 feet from the site of the Lincoln-Douglas debate by the Mississippi River and just a few blocks from Elijah Lovejoy’s print shop that was destroyed for printing anti-slavery materials. His printing press was thrown into the Mississippi mere feet from where the debates were later held, and Elijah Lovejoy was murdered. If you ever make it to Springfield there is so much to see. The Lincoln Presidential Museum is a very moving experience as is a tour of his home and of his tomb. What a remarkable man that could influence millions of people and have his wisdom still felt today and for generations to come.

You are so correct; we need Abraham Lincoln today.

I wonder if you have visited New Salem, IL? His time there seems quite grounding for the great man he later became. He was an incredibly hard worker and had such a quick, intelligent mind. He used humor to make connections with people. And, it is wonderful to see the tiny buildings that he would have towered in while he worked there with them and lived as their friend and neighbor.

If Lincoln were here today he would be smeared, maligned, denigrated, and demeaned simply because he would go straight to the point of each issue and expose the evil. And he could see through the fakes. That may be needed nowadays, but the people he would expose would be angry to the point of lynching him. But Lincoln would have a difficult time even getting the attention of the news media. He is not hyberbolic and flamboyant enough to grab the attention of news producers. Nevertheless, of all of the people in history I would like to visit with, Lincoln tops the list. I think he could change me at the core with just a few minutes.

I agree completely! although his life was so hard, I do think he always found a way to laugh.

Thank you so very much for showing us what President Lincoln looked like when he smiled for us. Remember this image when you think of him, for I believe President Abraham Lincoln is smiling just like this, right this moment, in Heaven with Jesus for all eternity. ❤🙏🐻🕊📖✝🛐 John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I recall reading that his face could become quite animated whenever he told a story or expressed an emotion, as it was made of rubber or silly putty.

No one smiled for photos during that time. You had to stay still for minutes to get your picture taken. Try holding a smile for two minutes.

And yet, when you look at his life story you still wonder "how can a person survive to so many tragedies".

Thomas Lincoln had a hard life. When he was still a young bioy he watched his father being shot down by Indians. I I think he had older brothers who took the property. In Kentucky the irregular surveys and poor laws caused him to be cheated of land he had begun purchasing. While in Indiana, he made trips back to Kentucky seeking to remove this property. If he took all Abraham’s earning it was to pay lawyer’s fees. But he never succeeded.

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

I know what you mean. I've lived a fairly long life, and I've heard this story more times than I can count. Every single time I hear it, though, I think: "if only."

yes....................if only................... if only this country did not have the plague of the democratic party.

Yes. The Vice President that seceded him was a POS.

@@maxwellcrazycat9204 a dem.

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

Thank you Twyla H. That was beautifully said. ❤🙏🏻

I also cried when I saw the recreations after hearing about his life. God Bless this man who had such a difficult life and yet still persevered enough to win hearts and minds and abolish slavery before his life was taken.

Lincoln would have flipped if he ever saw the BLM riots of 2020

Lincoln ordered the execution of more than 7,000 POWS in Fort Douglas. Because he couldn't afford to feed them. Many of the POWS were private citizens! Accused of a crime by the Union Army Military Rule. After Abraham Lincoln SUSPENDED the Constitution. The Citizens therefore were denied "Due PROCESS of LAW." 4th Amendment RIGHTS. No attorney! No judge! No jury. Still they were executed.

I know! That part nearly makes me cry. He was hurt from such a young age.

Goodness gracious.... you are easily persuaded

The departure of the Lincoln children's father seemed so cruel and harsh. Yeah, it probably was, but his return with the gift of their stepmother seems to have made up for that. Putting myself in Abraham's shoes, I admit I teared up myself.

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

@@rexsilicignus8370 Easily persuaded by historical facts? Goodness gracious.... how pathetic are you.

He is by far my most admired and favorite of mine as well. The real deal!

Agreed!

He didn’t consider blacks as human, so fuck what history wrote about him.

Yeah I used to like him too until I found out that he was influenced by Karl Marx.

@@bobson290 Marx’s contribution to Sociology was essentially his analysis of the dynamics of capital, in which labor is always contracted for less than its true value, or else employees would never be hired in the first place. The solution to this foundational problem has never been genuinely solved, but the description of the nature of the problem is foundational for looking at the relationship between humans and capital.

He was so witty 😂😂

sorry. fresh out

Most people today would probably mock him, with his high-pitched voice and gangly build. And most of all, they'd mock his values of freedom for all, and his intolerance for the rich elite.

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

@@rhizomove6631Nah, I really didn't like movie Friday 13th very much but all the same, what does that horror film have to do with this particular video?

@@shadelings the 13th is about the horrible treatment of black men in America.

It's a collection of poetic lies and propaganda. One of the most ridiculous speeches in American history. Look up what contemporary British people said about it.

​@@fredcdobbs.goldmine 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Lincoln is the only presidential surname of Latin derivation, from Roman-occupied Britain, Lindum Colonia, Lake Colony.

@@ramonaearnest4709 Oh, Big WOW!!! AMAZING.......

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

It is sad, but there is no doubt that those losses prepared him for the task of saving our Union.

I agree! I believe the greatest men in history are not the conquerors, the emperors or the rulers of civilizations…I believe that truly great men were men of peace; Dr. Martin Luther king Jr, Nelson Mandela, William Wilberforce and of course, Abraham Lincoln are for me, histories greatest men but the greatest of them all is Jesus Christ!

I wish we had more time to really quantify how funny and witty he was! I've read so many stories now about his famous humor!

Absolutely

@@melissastruxness512 i just dont acknowledge THEM, really its just a small , confused few that have a hard time relating to the bigger picture, that are brought to life by the pathetic modern main stream media that lives to divide people.

Yes! Replace CRT! Thank you. He was a beautiful human being!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

💯💯💯💯

Contemporary accounts of him say he was a rather attractive young man. He was very tall and lanky, but attractive nonetheless.

I’ve always thought he probably was a handsome man 😉🤣

You are so kind, thank you so much! Many more to come ❤️❤️

Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching ❤️

@@RoyaltyNowStudios Post script...I was born on February 12, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday...🎂❤️

No he wasn’t. He didn’t consider blacks to be worthy of rights. Or even as humans

@@kellysturgeon6727 Times have changed... People from India were also treated with disdain...and called the same name(s) as the Africans...

@@kellysturgeon6727 And he was shot dead by a Demonic🐀RAT because Lincoln and the Republicans in this Nation took the Slaves out of Slavery.......YOU ARE A DISCRACE

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I was worried people wouldn’t enjoy this one as much, since there are photographs of him and we know what he looked like. But I’m very happy everyone seems to be enjoying the color and motion!

@@RoyaltyNowStudios what moved me the most deeply was seeing him smile. He always looked so somber and I knew his depression was at times profound. The thought of him smiling brings me joy.

I relate to back then better , and the people! Our society is so lost! Are values and norms are disappearing, that are good!

@@RoyaltyNowStudios Only odd thing was how come you shifted where his chest was facing in the modern recreation? He looks like he has the capability of an owl with his neck being turned so far because of it haha. The bow tie in the old black and white image showed where the front of his neck and chest was, but you put the modern tie and outfit facing much more to the left.

I always thought his eyes looked ao aad

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

👍🏻

Well said! 🥹

Haha that’s so kind ❤️

Thank you! I was hoping people would still enjoy seeing re-creations even though we have photos of him. I think the motion adds a lot!

Me too!

Oh, my goodness. Same for me. Very emotional.

@@RoyaltyNowStudios the recreation of Lincoln reminds me of the recreation & animation made of the woman who was the first person in our family born in the US, & which was shown to us at our 100th annual family reunion this year, 2022. Has anyone ever made a recreation of Abraham Lincoln giving his Gettysburg Address? Such a production would be very interesting & moving.

Ken Burns is a shining inspiration to me, and the fact that you have even brought his name up in any relation to this channel is such an honor. Thank you!

Ken Burns, supports the Confederate army, in Civil War history! And he remains a Democratic to this day!

Allen, I totally agree. This is my first video from this team. The anticipation of seeing the recreation and animated Lincoln had me feeling like I was about to trod on hallowed and sacred ground. After the viewing I was moved by its simplicity and respect for this man amongst humanity. God bless them for this labor of love.

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

Theres no one else that looks like him. He may not be stereotypically attractive but he is so striking looking. You can see his presence in his face. I would have loved to see him in person, watch his expressions as he spoke.

@@childofcascadia I absolutely agree! I would have loved to be able to watch his eyes when he woke. Or, just as well, when he wasn't speaking. Not to mention, I can only imagine, his mannerisms were probably quite debonair for the time. I guess I'm not a stereotypical person, so it would figure I would find him strikingly handsome.

@@childofcascadia For me it's the depth in his eyes. Eternity is in his eyes and it's beautiful. I agree with you. He was striking.

Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed it. I loved learning about him so much.

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

And his beloved sister.

Sarah Bush

Stepmother was Sarah Bush not Sally

So?

I think both names are correct. Sally / Sallie is a common variant or nickname for Sarah / Sara. It is extremely common in my family. They all mean "princess", and interestingly stem from the biblical story about Abraham (his wife was Sarah).

Please watch 13th. Thank you.

@@rhizomove6631 What does the horror flick Friday the 13th have to do with this?? Honestly.

Is he single?? 😉🤣
