the gettysburg foundation sacred trust talks 2016 - Did Robert E. Lee commit treason?
"Within weeks of the end of the Civil War, Robert E. Lee was indicted by a Federal court for treason. The possibility of a treason trial weighed so heavily on Lee that he even appealed to Ulysses S. Grant to have the indictment quashed. But was he, even technically, guilty as charged?"

Lincoln is one of America’s best-loved presidents. Does he really need redemption? Allen C. Guelzo says yes, in his new book called, appropriately, Redeeming the Great Emancipator.
In a 10-minute conversation with The Bookmonger, Guelzo explains why Lincoln suffers a barrage of attacks today, what motivated him to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, and whether he was a racist and an atheist.

"Lincoln's Strangest Document: The Cabinet Memorandum of August 23, 1864" Despite Abraham Lincoln's best hopes at the start of 1864, the campaigns of that year did not seem to be bringing the end of the war any closer than those of the preceding years.

"Allen C. Guelzo, one of the nation's most distinguished scholars of Abraham Lincoln, delivers the keynote address for Washington and Lee University's observance of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, in Lee Chapel. The title of Guelzo's talk is " 'Little Note nor Long Remember': Why Do We Remember the Gettysburg Address?"
Praise for:
"While I have known of your work for a long time, sadly, I had never heard you give a talk until January 31, 2018. I found you on youtube.com when you spoke on the Gettysburg Address at Washington and Lee University in 2014. Your speech is the best historical oration I have ever heard! Your presentation was rich in content; substantial, and you were able to deliver the material with poise, power, and the clarity possessed by some of our greatest orators-FDR, JFK, and MLK, Jr. You are an amazing talent-a gifted historian and presenter. Your knowledge of President Abraham Lincoln probably made him blush from the heavens. After hearing your speech, I could not long resist sending you this note. Thank you for modeling what it means to be an historian, and how a scholar can positively impact our society."
