Have you heard me talk about this for a while? The book is about Abraham, Lincoln and Frederick Douglass Brian Right Steve, their relationship through the period of the civil war Brian, what they meant to America, especially when we talk about race on daily basis. I think its important for people to have a perspective Ainsley. With your permission, we have a special on Sunday thats going to air at 1000 heres a little of the package in which you under what can expect in the book. Ainsley, I grant you permission. Brian, the American Civil war over six hundred thousand would die over the course of four years for the United States to survive, then reunify and become for the first time a nation free for all. They would need

extraordinary leaders. Two emerged above the rest: Abraham Lincoln, the President, Frederick Douglass, the freedom fighter. Together they would make America a more perfect union. America has been blessed to have the right people at the right time. You think back to those days in the civil war, where brothers literally fought blood brothers. Fathers fought their kids because they wanted the declaration of independence, and this notion that all men were created equal to be real Brian. In Abraham Lincoln, you had a person with the odds stacked against him Brian bill. How can a young man born to illiterate parents in abject poverty, with only one year of formal education emerge as one of Americas, perhaps best presidents, who would lead us through a war and emancipate all enslaved people? He was an amazing person. I guess today we would call him

gifted. He had a vision and he had ambition. Brian as tough as Abraham Lincolns first years were Frederick Douglass had it worse. He had to escape to it will his freedom. He would want freedom for himself and freedom for all once freed from bondage. He would continue self education esteemed, be a littlist write, biography and be a lecturer around the world as flawed as American was for the african American. He didnt want another country. He wanted to make his stand here almost in biblical terms. He saw the promise of America, which is hard to do when you are being beaten so Douglas gift. Was he never left the slave owners own him? Brian began to rise in stature miles apart, America was coming apart. North and south were

divergent on the issue of slavery. The status quo would not stand paving the way for the Ener generals of a new party. The republican party seizing the opportunity of one term congressman Lauper from the Midwest Abraham Lincoln. The rail splitter from Illinois would grant nomination and presidency, but by the time he arrived at the White House, seven states had left the union. For Lincoln succession was not an option. The war was on, he took over a divided country. Did he actually know what he was getting into? I dont think so, but Lincoln Usedknew the law and he knew the constitution backwards and forwards, and so he realized after Fort Sumter happened and a lot of the country wasnt accepting him as President correctly diagnosed Union Union Union keep the country together and then the abolition of slavery, two grand causes of the civil war Brian as for Frederick Douglass Lincolns Win, was all about hope

when he didnt immediately free the slaves Frederick seized. The whole story is that progress takes patience. Douglas should have been rightfully so angry at the lack of progress, pushing Lincoln to move as quickly as possible. At the same time, you have to admire and respect Lincolns patience. Brian, the White House look as lot like it did in eighteen. Sixty when Lincoln was President Brian line up on the porch and hope the president would see you one on one thats. What Grikd Douglas decided to do. He didnt have to wait. Long Lincoln was smitten with Douglas. He knew he was a figure and carried baggage with him politically. He wanted to meet Douglas. After the initial meeting. A bond was formed, Lincoln, released the Emancipation Proclamation Douglas traveled, the nation recruiting blacks into the army for the first time, the most prolific unit, the 454Th

Massachusetts Infantry own success served in the 54th im amazed how important the american flag was when they were being shot at the African American holding the flag. Doesnt want it to touch the soil because it was so important to the defend our flag because it was defending our nation, Lincoln and Douglas would meet a total of three of Times face to face and together help Lincoln Win Re Election Douglas a special guest at inaugural. The union would go on to win the war free, an entire race from slavery and allow our nation reunite with so much work left to do together. John Wilkes Booth assassination robbed Frederick Douglass of a partner to do that. Work with and America of its greatest president. At a time of our greatest need, Frederick Douglass out lived Abraham Lincoln thirty years staying near Rochester New York until one thousand eight hundred and seventy two major mark on american history came alongside our 16th president individually. They were great

men together. They were unstoppable. Steve looks like a great special fantastic book available today, Ainsley, that was amazing. That was wonderful. Brian Brian South Carolina was the back drop.
