Tom Best a local historian reflections on Abraham Lincolns life and political success. Best describes Lincoln as having a “no quit attitude” and that he is “Our American Story”.
“He had a unique opportunity at a special time in our history to take the ideas that he had and to galvanize his people to say I think if you follow me I think we have the correct way to approached our country and to stand up to succession and to lead the union.”
Best recommends watching a CNN six part series called “Lincoln: Divided We Stand”.
