Dr J Rufus Fears - Story of Freedom - (12 of 18) - To Make Men Free: Lincoln As A Statesman
Abraham Lincoln, argues Dr. Fears, ranks as one of the three greatest democratic
statesmen in history. He had a bedrock of principles, a moral compass, a vision and the
ability to build a consensus to achieve that vision. In this lecture you will explore the
deep meaning of the Gettysburg Address as a core document of American freedom.
The Story of Freedom in America is a complete, 18-lecture course, free and open to the public. Fears, with his inimitable style and his true wisdom, explores the American experience of freedom from the Revolutionary War to the present day. He tells the stories of struggle, sacrifice, and heroism that created the unique model of American freedom.
