Happy Birthday, Abe Lincoln
February 12, 2025
Writes David Martin:
On the home page of Bitchute today, we are greeted with this message:
On this day in 1809,
Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky. A self-taught lawyer and leader, he became the 16th President, guiding the U.S. through the Civil War. His Emancipation Proclamation and Gettysburg Address redefined freedom and equality. Lincoln’s legacy endures as a symbol of unity and justice.
Concerning that proclamation and especially that famous address, permit me to put us in closer touch with reality with my 2008 article, “Mencken and More on Lincoln’s Speech.”
