President Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1863 Called Nation to Give Thanks to God – Video

Giving thanks to God is part of the very fabric of our nation, even since before we were a nation. The first settlers who came to America came looking for religious freedom, and they did not forget to thank God for His blessings even in the midst of difficult circumstances. May we have that same spirit and fortitude.

Here is a video that shares the words of President Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1863 – right in the middle of the Civil War. Lincoln’s references to God would be a scandal to the politically-correct Leftist crowd that makes so much sound and fury in America today, but they reflect the kind of spirit that built and preserved this nation.
