Changes
/* Second Incarnation (1993-2009) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duo5Svjl92g */
The 1993 version of the Hall of Presidents once again opened with the Constitutional Convention in 1786. Now however, instead of debating the merits of the new Constitution, the delegates could instead be heard arguing about whether or not slavery had a place in the new country <ref name= "dated"/>.
Continuing on, the new version of the Hall of Presidents omitted the Whiskey Rebellion scene that had once followed the Constitutional Convention. Instead, the film jumped straight to the Nullification Crisis, where once again the issue of slavery was interjected. Now the South Carolina crowd who supported nullification also voiced their approval of slavery. Like in the previous incarnation of the Hall of Presidents, the film next then featured the Lincoln -Douglas debate, during which Lincoln gave his famous "House Divided" speech. The Civil War portion of the show also remained mostly the same as the previous incarnation <ref name= "dated"/>.
Although the portion of the film that focused on Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War remained mostly intact, the post-Civil War scene was radically altered. Instead of focusing on the American technological achievements in the century after the war, the film instead focused on the civil rights struggles of women, immigrants and African Americans. The film concluded then concluded with the narrator saying "We the people must mean all the people" and the Saturn 5 launching into space <ref> http://www.yesterland.com/presidents.html </ref>.
Besides featuring a brand new script, the second incarnation of the Hall of Presidents also include a speech by the (then) current president President of the United States, Bill Clinton. Clinton’s speech was given before Abraham Lincoln (who was now voiced by Peter Renaday) addressed the audience <ref name= "dated"/>
Although the Hall of President’s script remained mostly unchanged from 1993 until 2009, the attraction was altered slightly in 2001. During this renovation, President George W. Bush was added to the attraction, and J.D. Hall replaced Maya Angelou as the Hall’s narrator <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mk/mk_hop.htm </ref>. Like his predecessor, George W Bush recorded a speech for the attractions finale.
In 2008 to coincide with the election of President Barrack Obama, The Hall of Presidents once again underwent a major refurbishment. At this time the attraction received a new script which focused on the relationship between the Presidents and the American people. At this time the attraction experienced a number of other changes including the fact that The attraction itself was renamed Hall of Presidents: A Celebration of Liberty’s Leaders. Other altercations included A a re-programmed Abraham Lincoln Audio Animatronic who now delivers the Gettysburg Address. George Washington also now stands and gives a speech. Barrack Obama was added to the attraction where he delivers a speech record by the President himself.
130 new images were added to the attraction to go along with score written by Joel McNeely <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/hall-of-presidents/news/27jun2009-hall-of-presidents-offically-reopens-july-4.htm </ref>. At this time the attraction's rotunda was also changed, so that it now showcases many artifacts that belonged to the Presidents themselves.
