Patriotic historian Ben Martin discusses Abraham Lincoln, a divided America, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the Dred Scott decision. Lincoln’s personal journey was marked by a deep sense of self-consciousness, as he felt ashamed of his appearance. Despite this, he possessed an inherent drive to better himself and overcome the challenges posed by his humble background.
