In a foxhole, a ghoul and mutant throw jabs at each other. The Better Angels mod by Someguy2000 - http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mod. Oct 22, 2015 Page 1 of 7 - WIP The Better Angels - posted in New Vegas Mod Talk: THE BETTER ANGELS by Someguy2000 The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for. Description: As the Courier makes final preparations for the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, an NCR official from his/her past reaches out with an offer for one final job that could have major repercussions in the NCR/Legion conflict.

“The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

— From Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address, March 4, 1861

It was Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address. The country was being torn apart. Seven states had already seceded from the Union, and over the next four months, five more would join them. At this crucial moment, when Lincoln could have easily resorted to the rhetoric of divisiveness, he had the courage to appeal to our better angels — the basic human instinct to do the right thing.

Lincoln knew the sacrifices that had been made less than a century before to create these United States. He believed deeply that the things that united us would eventually prove more powerful than those that divided us.

In our time, when the rhetoric of divisiveness has become, it seems, louder than ever, The Better Angels Society is dedicated to preserving America’s history, presenting it in a meaningful way to current and future generations, and inspiring and supporting others who share this mission.
