        Lincoln once told a man accusing him of being two faced, (paraphrasing), 'if I had two faces, would I have worn this one'? 😂😂😂😂

        In 1863, the Republican Party was the liberal party ( strong Federal govt, civil rights, etc...)

        In 2017 the Republican party is the party of the rich, the treasonous, and the deviant.

        Because the Civil War seems so very far removed in time, I always get this little jolt of amazement when I see an actual photograph -- instead of a painting -- of this iconic president. It makes him real in a way no written history can.

        One of my favorite parts of the excellent Civil War series is the comment about Lincoln in death - that it was hard to regard him with his eyes closed. Such sadness and wisdom there. @KenBurns Ken @LynnNovick #hopemymemoryisright
