Abraham Lincoln's Inaugural Addresses
'Abraham Lincoln's Inaugural Addresses ' Summary
Lincoln's first inaugural address is one of the most problematic and dangerous speeches ever delivered by a president. Lincoln continually falsifies the historical narrative in order to create a gnostic primordial American nation that never existed. He also comes dangerously close to blatantly lying when he says his positions during the Secession Winter were clear. In fact he famously practiced a silence that his advisors repeatedly asked him to break. He also claims to not want war, all the while making it clear that he was willing to kill thousands over an idea, or even more basically, a shape. Thankfully, Lincoln changed. For the better. And thankfully, he realized that emancipation, more than nation, was worth fighting for.
