Abraham Lincoln

So like an egg, but he was a cheese and he had like yellow, long, skinny arms and skinny legs.

But then he was like a gentleman because he had an Abe Lincoln hat.

Yes.

I don't know why.

She sought out one of those wonderful World War I era flag paintings by Childe Hassam, and that's the first Impressionist work in the collection.

I happen to think one of the most moving history paintings in the collection is one that was commissioned by abolitionists in the North as a gift for Abraham Lincoln in 1863.

And it's given to Abraham Lincoln as thanks from the abolitionists for the Emancipation Proclamation.

It's by an artist called William Tolman Carlton, and its title is Watch Meeting, December 31st, 1862, Waiting for the Hour.

And it's an emotional scene of enslaved people crowded together in a torch-lit, rustic room, waiting for midnight when the Emancipation Proclamation will take effect and become law, and they will be legally free.

And that's the first Impressionist work in the collection.

and everything that had come before for many Americans, this election was a milestone in the long struggle over race, citizenship, and who really could be our president.

Number eight, I'll pick Abraham Lincoln's election.

Talk about historic, and talk about something that at the time, well, it was just, well...

Abraham Lincoln was a non-factor going into the election and really was a nobody at the time.

But certainly his perseverance in keeping our country together during this horrible Civil War, that you can point to him as being right there at the top with George Washington being our best and most influential president.

He was our 16th president, and it was November 6th, 1860, that he was elected.

Today, November 11th, like I said, it honors everyone that served in the United States military.

It has special recognition to those veterans that are still living with us today.

Errol, who went to see the play Our American Cousin on the night of April 14th, 1865 at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.?

Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln is correct.

Errol, well done.

Question eight.

Anyway, we look old enough.

We're healthy enough, and old Abe Lincoln says he needs us.

Yeah, he's still putting out his call for volunteers.

I've been thinking of the Ohio 41st.

It is a place he has never been.

He is a little patriotic boy who quotes Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

And he's so enthusiastic.

And you watch the beginning of this going, oh, my God, this poor man is a lost cause.

Well it is because I've got good knowledge.

I did, I did, Harrison Ford as Abraham Lincoln as well, which was a pretty easy one.

The Jefferson one was a bit harder actually, because he was more of a tunic that came up to the neck, straight

up.
