Did Lincoln Really Say That?by Gordon Leidner of Great American History
"Do you think we choose to be born? Or are we fitted to the times we are born into?" Daniel Day-Lewis, playing Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's new movie "Lincoln," asked this question. Did Lincoln say that?
The answer is "no." Although it makes for interesting dialogue in an excellent movie, it has absolutely no basis in historical fact.
Lincoln was "religious in nature," according to his wife, Mary--even though he never officially joined a church. But Lincoln's religious beliefs were Christian-Calvinistic in nature rather than spiritualistic or paranormal.
By the end of the Civil War, Lincoln had demonstrated sincere faith in the guidance and judgement of the God of the Bible. In his brilliant Second Inaugural Address, which Lincoln delivered six weeks before his death, he demonstrated mature contemplation of Divine Providence. In this peroration, which theologian Mark A. Noll describes as a "theological statement of rare depth," Lincoln displayed little doubt that it was God that controls man's destiny, not man. More on Lincoln's faith here.
