Podcasts about second inaugural

Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine analyzes the war's conclusion and Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, which framed the conflict as divine judgment for the shared offense of slavery. He notes that Lincoln intended a Reconstruction based on charity and "absence of malice," rather than punishment. By 1865, Lincoln's views had evolved to support citizenship for African American veterans, though his assassination left the specific blueprint for the nation's reintegration unfinished and uncertain.1910 BEECHER HOME, SOUTHBURY, CONN.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses Samuel "Sunset" Cox, a Democratic Congressman famed for his eloquence. Cox vividly denounced New England Puritanism as the root of moral extremism and interference. He criticized Lincoln's administration for adopting a "Cromwellian direction" that supposedly deprived Northern Democrats of their rights to free expression.1865 SECOND INAUGURAL

On October 6, 2023, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik sat at his desk facing a deadline for his monthly column. Israel's citizens were then furiously debating judicial reform, but he'd already had his say on that matter. He decided to write about something else instead: a Jeopardy episode where three educated contestants stared blankly when asked to identify the source of this line: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." This, among the most famous images in all of Western literature, comes of course from Psalm 23. And none of the contestants knew it.   Rabbi Soloveichik submitted the piece on October 6, hours before the festival of Shemini Atzeret. The next morning, October 7, the Jewish people would be thrust into the valley of the shadow of death. T'hillim, as the Psalm are known in Hebrew, would, over the following weeks and months, accompany the Jewish people's every thought. Their distress could be articulated in David's very own words, linking their pain to his pain, their redemptive dreams to his redemptive dreams, their future to his future.   In his new podcast, "Poetry and Prayer: A Daily Journey Through the Psalms," Soloveichik walks listeners through all 150 psalms, one by one. For today's episode, he sits down with Jonathan Silver, the editor of Mosaic, to discuss this ambitious project. He puts forward a striking claim in the course of the conversation: the Psalms represent something unprecedented in ancient literature. While Homer or Gilgamesh depict external action—heroic deeds, cosmic battles—the Psalms take their reader (or reciter) inside someone else's soul. The Psalmist explores the full range of human emotion—doubt and faith, despair and joy, rage and delight—all while maintaining an awareness of God's presence. It's the first example in world literature of what the critic Edward Cahill calls "the eye of interiority."   When Iranian missiles fell on their cities at 2:00 am one night, Israelis immediately Googled "T'hillim" on their iPhones. An IDF soldier named Yossi Hershkovitz composed a new melody to Psalm 23 while serving in Gaza, and was killed days later—his tune surviving because a comrade taught it to his children. In America, the Psalms shaped the country's founding, from the First Continental Congress reading Psalm 35 to Lincoln quoting from the book in his Second Inaugural. More recently, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech in Jerusalem's City of David connecting American exceptionalism to the very site where the Psalms were written.   This episode of the Tikvah Podcast is sponsored by Samuel and Malka Harris Susswein in honor of Sam Susswein's birthday.

I can hardly read this without getting emotional.  Lincoln believed God was stretching out America's affliction because we were a nation in sin.  Our punishment was a protracted Civil War that took 700,000 lives.  Or to borrow from the great British song, The Streets of LondonHow can you tell me you're lonelyAnd that for you, the sun don't shineLet me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of LondonI'll show you somethingThat'll change your mind. This is a reposting.  Because we may need to think of these things.

As the polls closed on Saturday in both Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the presidential primary season came to an end. Having participated in those elections, the end of the season marks a transitional point in my life as well.The U.S. political system should not be, and does not have to be, as corrupt as it is. The dichotomy between the decency of the American people (the kind of goodness on display in the video above) and the electoral process as it now exists, is very sad to me. I think politics should be an act of collective creativity, and a chance for all of us to make the world a better place. In fact, my experiences running for president twice have assured me that it's not only possible - it's what the American people by and large would want.But the forces arrayed against that are huge. Our politics is in the grip of a greedy matrix that has turned Washington into a system of legalized bribery. And I learned first hand what that system will do to someone who has the audacity to challenge it. Our political and media establishment have seemingly no recognition of their sacred responsibility to facilitate the will of the people. The goal of that system is not democracy, but power; its operatives seek to damage anyone not a part of their club. I don't want to write or speak further about the details of that - at least not yet. And I'm thrilled to now transition back to my work as an author and teacher. The book I wrote before my campaign, THE MYSTIC JESUS, is published now - I have spoken of it here already - and you'll hear more in the coming days. My work has always been for me a single endeavor, whether we're talking about peace in our hearts or peace on the planet. I know some people think politics and spirituality are opposites, but they shouldn't be. Gandhi said “politics should be sacred,” by which he didn't mean dogmatic or doctrinaire but rather coming from a deep soulfulness. And I agree. Thomas Jefferson wrote his own Bible, remember! And no one can read Lincoln's Second Inaugural and not see references to God's will all over it. The separation of Church and State was never intended to suppress the spiritual or even religious conversation; in fact it was meant to protect it. The First Amendment protects the government from encroachment by religious authorities, and protects religion from encroachment by governmental authorities. But neither should ever be separate from love.Reading Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., I became deeply inspired by the idea that political change could lead to what King called “the establishment of the beloved community.” (You can read more about that in my book Healing the Soul of America ) And I still am. In politics there are people dedicated to some very dark pursuits. But there are also people with such beautiful hearts that I can scarcely contain my gratitude for having had the chance to know them. That is what I want to take way from my experience running for president. Not the lies or injustices or corruption of our politics. What I want to remember are the moments of love. And they were there. From donors sending their support, to volunteers spending countless hours trying to rally voters, to staff members who were there for all the right reasons, to advisors and friends who shared the vision, I have memories that live and breathe in my heart and will remain forever.As a writer, thinker, philosopher, and political activist whatever that might mean in my future, my prayer is that somehow what I have been through will make me a better woman - and thus better at all of them. Through it all, I remain convinced that many miracles lie ahead. This is a public episode.

I show a couple of clips pertaining to this holiday (make a mash of Lincoln's Second Inaugural, unfortunately), but I think it's an important show for us to reflect upon the significance of this day.    

Biblically speaking, if there is no place for divine judgment in our theology, there is something unchristian about our worldview.

His thoughts on these landmarks can be traced through three speeches: the Lyceum Address, the Gettysburg Address, and the Second Inaugural. The latter two are well-known, enshrined forever on the walls of the Lincoln Memorial. The first is much less familiar to most, written a quarter-century before his presidency, when he was a 28-year-old Illinois state legislator. In His Greatest Speeches, Professor Diana Schaub offers a brilliant, line-by-line analysis of these timeless works, placing them in historical context and explaining the brilliance behind their rhetoric. The result is a complete vision of Lincoln's worldview that is sure to fascinate and inspire general readers and history buffs alike. This book is a wholly original resource for considering the difficult questions of American purpose and identity, questions that are no less contentious or essential today than they were a century and a half ago

White Ash Flies presents Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, read by Colin Mahoney.

Who's the most influential figure in American political history? Washington? Lincoln? Martin Luther King? The answer, for any student of American history, should be clear: it's Moses. But how does this influence pan out? And how do Moses, and other Biblical figures, help us tell our own stories…even today? To unpack all of this, Ari spoke with bestselling author and New York Times columnist Bruce Feiler, author of “America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story”. They talked about the Age of Exploration; Moses as lawgiver vs. Moses as liberator; Lincoln's Second Inaugural; the Bible as text vs. the Bible as map; why Abraham's story comes before Moses'; how to improve July 4th; and much more!

Lincoln in his Second Inaugural pointed out that even amidst the horror of civil war, Americans of both sides still "read the same Bible and prayed to the same God." Today, Americans can no longer agree on such basic questions as what a woman is; the traditional political distinctions of "left" and "right" no longer fully explain our reality. Matthew explains how Republicans can leverage the tools they already possess to help their constituents live a more human way of life and further outlines steps each individual can take to protect themselves and their families from institutional corruption.    Show Notes:   https://guide.newfounding.com/   Socialist Investment Advisors - American Mind https://americanmind.org/salvo/socialist-investment-advisors/   Principal Investments  https://www.principalinv.com/   RETURN https://return.life/   The College President Who Won't Raise Tuition - The Atlantic  https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/04/mitch-daniels-purdue/606772/

In this episode we turn to the great emancipator—not that he started out with that intention. From the covenant between the States in one Union to the painful perception of necessary bloodshed for the North as well as the South on account of its collusion, Lincoln out-Jeffersoned Jefferson, invoking the equality of all human beings according to the Declaration over against the evasion of the slavery issue in the Constitution. And yet, young Lincoln has about as much regard for orthodox Christianity as Jefferson did. What was that brought about such different results in conscience and action? What did Lincoln perceive of God that others could not, as he expressed so powerfully in the Second Inaugural? Notes: 1. Lincoln, Speeches and Writings (Library of America).

“A New Birth of Freedom”: Lincoln's Oratory and the Civil War The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.  I'm Paul Vogelzang and as part of our Smithsonian Associates interview series, we have a wonderful show today. Our guest today is Smithsonian Associate and author and professor of history Christopher Hamner.  Dr. Christopher Hamner teaches and writes about U.S. History: War and American society, the individual experience of combat, technological change and warfare.  The title of Dr. Hamner's upcoming presentation at Smithsonian Associates is “A New Birth of Freedom”: Lincoln's Oratory and the Civil War.  More details are available on our website, but we have Dr. Christopher Hamner today. More than 150 years after his death, our 16th president maintains his reputation as one of the most gifted orators to hold the nation's highest office. Abraham Lincoln used his facility with language to help guide the country through the Civil War—the most destructive in its history—and through the massive social and political disruption that accompanied four years of fighting. Christopher Hamner, professor of history at George Mason University, focuses on how three of Lincoln's best-known speeches—his First Inaugural (1861), his Gettysburg Address (1863), and his Second Inaugural (1865)—helped to move a war-weary citizenry toward a radical new understanding of the country's own values and of the meaning of the war and of emancipation. My thanks to Smithsonian Associates author, historian Christopher Hamner.  The title of Dr. Hamner's upcoming presentation at Smithsonian Associates is “A New Birth of Freedom”: Lincoln's Oratory and the Civil War.  More details are available on our website, but we have Dr. Christopher Hamner today.  My thanks always to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks, as well, to you my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience.  Please be well, be safe and remember…let's talk about Better.  The Not Old Better Show.  Thanks, everybody and I'll see you next week.

Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address is considered one of history's most compelling examples of political rhetoric. In this Conversation, Diana Schaub, a preeminent scholar of American political thought and author of His Greatest Speeches: How Lincoln Moved the Nation, argues that while Lincoln's Second Inaugural deserves its reputation, often its true character has not been appreciated. Over the course of her line-by-line interpretation of the dialogue, Schaub draws out some remarkable, counterintuitive, and little-appreciated aspects of Lincoln's March 1865 address. Schaub and Kristol pay particular attention to the theological-political themes, and how the magnificent and subtle rhetoric of the speech presses the nation toward racial reconciliation and a politics of true moderation and greater humanity.

In this episode of The American Idea, Jeff welcomes back Dr. Lucas Morel, Professor of Politics at Washington and Lee University and a Visiting Graduate Faculty Member in Ashland University's Masters of American History and Government program, to talk about Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. Lucas is a renowned scholar on American political thought and Abraham Lincoln, having recently published a new book called Lincoln and the American Founding. Their conversation will examine the crucial last twelve months of the American Civil War, Lincoln's evolving sentiments on emancipation and reconstruction, and how Justice Clarence Thomas was right when he claimed that the speech is Lincoln's Sermon on the Mount.Host: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Greg McBrayerProducer: Tyler MacQueen

Sometimes referred to as "America's Sermon," President Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural speech - delivered March 4th, 1865 - is one of the best known presidential addresses in American history. It should be in EVERY American's memory. "A word fitly spoken by you now would be like 'apples of gold in pictures of silver.'" Alexander H. Stephens, a former Georgia congressman, wrote these words to Abraham Lincoln on December 30, 1860. He quoted from Proverbs 25:11 to persuade Lincoln that a public statement from the president-elect would help greatly in the mounting crisis of the divided country. A student of the Bible in his own right, Lincoln reflected on Stephens's biblical reference and, in a note to himself, used the "apples of gold" reference to clarify the connection between America's constitutional union and the principle of "Liberty to all." https://edsitement.neh.gov/lesson-plans/lesson-1-fragment-constitution-and-union-1861-purpose-american-union If you'd like to support us, donate through Paypal at Romanschapter5@comcast.net https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com   #secondinaugural #secondinauguralspeech #abrahamlincoln #lincoln #fragmentoftheconsititution #constitution #inauguration #inaugural #presidentspeech #unitedstates #unitedstateshistory #americanhistory #famousspeech #famousamericanspeech #1865

Abraham Lincoln delivered two speeches that are considered among the greatest ever delivered.  One was the Gettysburg Address and one was the Second Inaugural.  Most Americans consider the Gettysburg Address to be his greatest, but Lincoln believed his Second Inaugural was his best. I agree.  It changed the way Americans thought about their country.  This is a talk I delivered to a class in the fall of 2020.  They had in front of them the speech itself.  You should print out the speech before you listen to this so you can follow along.  Lincoln had read and admired Feuerbach on how we humans generate our religious thinking.  If you have not listened to the talk on Feuerbach, and are interested, you might do that.  The last minute of the talk gets cut off. Sorry about that.  I was talking about Barack Obama's minister, Reverend Jeremiah Wright.  Reverend Wright was an amazing minister.  His congregation, which is situated in south Chicago, a very poor neighborhood, had wonderful programs.  He had educational tutoring, scholarships, jobs programs, food programs, health programs.  You name it, they did it.  I admire him in many ways.  But he had a style of preaching that was common in the Black community but not well understood outside of that tradition.  I grew up with that style.  The preacher will renounce the congregation for their sins. In my case I remember the minister saying, “You are damned and doomed to a devil's hell.”  But the renunciation was really a reassurance that you can overcome your sin and be a better person.  In one sermon Reverend Wright spoke of the tendency of people to say “God Bless America.”  The Reverend thought they were claiming a status in the eyes of God that they did not deserve.  He said, “NO!  Not God Bless America.  God Damn America!”  It may be hard to believe but that was actually an expression of patriotism, an affirmation that America could be what God meant it to be.  God is in the whirlwind and we can emerge a better nation, a nation truly under God.  But this emerged during a presidential campaign and one of the candidates was a Black man who had attended that church.  This phrase was distorted and misrepresented until candidate Obama had to renounce it.   Lincoln would have agreed with Reverend Wright.   Lincoln DID agree with Reverend Wright, as you can tell.  God is giving us a terrible punishment that we could never have imagined.  “I tremble for my country when I consider that God is just,” as Jefferson said.  Lincoln was even more graphic:  a Black drop of blood will be repaid by a dead white person.  We have to wonder how an American president would fare today if he delivered such a speech.  It was American Exceptionalism, Lincoln style. Two last points.  Reporters were keeping close track of cheering.  Most of the enthusiasm during the talk came from the Black members of the audience.  Many white people were silent.  The white members of the audience were Lincoln's base, his strongest supporters.  And every single one of them had lost someone they knew and loved in that war.  Finally, the comment by Frederick Douglass demands an acknowledgement.  Lincoln and Douglass had become personal friends.  This  unlikely friendship is  analyzed in the wonderful book Giants by John Stauffer. Douglass came by the White House that evening.  The place was packed but Lincoln singled out Douglass and asked what he thought.  Douglass demurred but Lincoln insisted.  “Mr. Lincoln.  That was a sacred effort.”  And so it was.  For those overseas, be aware that I am taking you deep into an American way of thinking.
