A Speech That Mattered - Lincoln’s Second Inaugural

Subscribe to The American IdeaSubscribe

Days before the inauguration of our next president, we ask you to take a moment to look back at an inaugural address that was also given in a time of high political division and partisanship, in fact eclipsing our own. What can we learn from Abraham Lincoln, and from the words of his Second Inaugural Address?

Jeff is joined by Dr. Jason Stevens to discuss this essential American document, exploring its meaning in 1865, as well as what we can learn from it now, almost 160 years later.
