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.
