The call for unity after a close presidential election is as American as the presidential election itself. Abraham Lincoln called for unity in his first inaugural address saying, "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection." Following Lincoln's call for unity Southern states begin to secede from the Union leading to the American Civil War. Many other newly elected Presidents have also made the call for unity, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and even Donald Trump. Although, as in Lincoln's case those calls seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. Joe Biden is the latest to make the call for unity, even though President Trump has not conceded and there are many legal challenges to the election still working their way through the courts. Biden's calls for unity seem to be as fruitless as those before him, and the loudest voices rejecting his calls seem to be coming from his supporters. However, is Biden actually making a sincere call for unity, or is he just doing it as a strategy to further divide us? How can we know that Biden and his supporters really want unity? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #75. This is a public episode.
