Listen "65 - Lincoln’s Lyceum Address and the Importance of Passing Down Tradition"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I offer reflections on Lincoln’s Lyceum Address (also titled The Perpetuation of our Political Institutions) as well as provide a reading of the speech. Lincoln’s Lyceum Address was given in 1838, well before his time of fame as president, to a young men’s association in Illinois. He emphasizes the dangers we face as Americans from mob rule and a general disregard for law. Lincoln reflects upon their unique position in history in relation to the American Revolution and the necessary steps to preserve our political institutions in the future. Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisLincoln’s Lyceum Address - https://teachingamericanhistory.org/document/lyceum-address/Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
