Abraham Lincoln shows integrity: video

What I saw and experience in this video was trust and loyalty to promise that Lincoln had made with his mother at the age of nine. The promise she made with him was to never use tobacco or drink any type of whisky. So the story goes as two men traveling together which were Abraham Lincoln and a military colonel. They rode together for miles and sometime between that travel the colonel ask him drink whisky with him but Abraham refused that offer as he promised his mother. After some time the colonel ask him to have a smoke with him. Then he said yes, but after he was going to smoke he told him the story of the promise he made with his mother that he will never smoke tobacco or drink whisky and until that day he didn't. So he ask the colonel that if he would want Abraham to break that promise. The colonel understood him and said that he wouldn't want to be that person to break the promise of a man and his mother.
