Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and the Downfall of American Slavery IN writing this brief biography, I have been moved by a desire to give to the present generation who will never know aught of Abraham Lincoln but what is traditional, a life-like picture of the man as many men knew him. To do this, it has been necessary to draw material from various sources, to paint in a background Of the history of the times in which he lived, and to place the illustrious subject in his true relation, as far as pos sible, to the events in which he was so large a participant. SO far as I have been able, I have subordinated the events to the man. In the preparation of the work, I have been greatly helped by many authors; andi have been especially ln debted to the writings Of Colonel Ward H. Lamon, the Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, Dr. G. Holland, John G. Nicolay, and Colonel John Hay. It was my good fortune to know Lincoln with some degree of intimacy, our acquaintance beginning with the Fremont campaign of 1856, when I was a resident of Illinois, and continuing through the lincoln-douglas canvass, two years later.

Excerpt: ...the mails from places where they were habitually violated, would any or all of these things be invasion or coercion?... Upon what principle, what rightful principle may a State, being no more than one-fiftieth part of the nation in so'l and population, break up the nation, and then coerce a proportionably larger subdivision of itself in the same way?" It will be noticed that Lincoln asserted nothing. He asked these questions and left them for the people to think about. This was one of his favorite methods of putting a case. He made no arrogant assertions, no "thus-saith-the-Lord " declarations. He preferred, whenever that was possible, to leave the case with the people to decide for themselves, having first cleared the ground by asking a few weighty questions. At other points, Lincoln was called upon to address the throngs that pressed to see him, to hear his voice. It was contrary to his nature to disappoint them; and, although he made no more remarks like those at Indianapolis to indicate, what his public policy might be, he responded whenever the time allowed him. Thus at Lawrenceburgh, Indiana, he said, in the course of a, very brief speech: "Let me tell you that if the people remain right, your public men can never betray you. If, in my brief term of office, I shall be wicked or foolish, if you remain right and true and honest, you cannot be betrayed. My power is temporary and fleeting; yours as eternal as the principles of liberty." At Cincinnati, the great city of Ohio, the populace went wild with enthusiasm. Nothing like it had ever before been seen in the beautiful and easily-moved " Queen City of the West," as its people are proud to call their home. Lincoln was almost bodily carried to his...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Abraham Lincoln, and the Overthrow of Slavery If he has been able to aid to any extent, the American people to a better understanding, and to a fuller and more just appreciation of the moral and intellectual character of Mr. Lincoln, and the means by which slavery has been overthrown and the slaveholders' rebellion subdued, he will be amply rewarded for the labor bestowed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln, Labor, and Slavery: A Chapter From the Social History of America This book has a two-fold purpose: First, to throw light upon the position taken by the working class and the international labor movement regarding chattel slavery; secondly, to indicate the attitude taken by one of the most famous characters in the struggle for the emancipation of the Negro, Abraham Lincoln, towards the labor question and the working class. The author's standpoint in the treatment of this subject is that of historical materialism, first brought into the science of history by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. According to this historical conception the political and intellectual phenomena of history stand in the most intimate relation with the economic and social events in society.

And yet this just and kindly man was a slave holder, but a slaveholder by birth and not by inclination. He belonged to a class of men habituated to a system now properly regarded with horror and indignation. We are told that he treated his negroes with kindness, attended to their comforts, was particularly careful of them in sickness, but never tolerated idleness, and exacted a faithful performance of all their allotted tasks. But although born and educated a slaveholder, as Washington advanced in years slavery became more and more distasteful to him, as we may see by his letters to Mr. J ohn F. Mercer and later to his nephew, Lawrence Lewis. His will provided that all his slaves were to be liberated on the death of his wife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln and Slavery This brief review of Abraham Lincoln's real attitude toward Slavery and Emancipation originated in an address delivered at Howard University on the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. It is now extended by the introduction of historical evidence, principally from Lincoln himself, which that occasion did not permit. Apart from his conduct, which speaks for itself to those who look beneath the surface of it, nothing can contribute so much as his own words to a true understanding of this great American in the supreme act of his life and one of the monumental events in the world's history.

Download or read book President Lincoln s Attitude Towards Slavery and Emancipation written by Henry Watson Wilbur and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from President Lincoln's Attitude Towards Slavery and Emancipation: With a Review of Events Before and Since the Civil War It is nearly half a century since the untimely death of President Lincoln, and during all these years he has steadily grown in popular favor. Because of his having come from the ranks of the common people, plus the crown of martyrdom forced upon him, he probably appeals to the general imagination more than any other man in our history. In a nation-wide referendum for the selection of the typical American, it is likely Lincoln would receive a large majority. But any attempt to make him out a sort of superman would be unjust to his character. It is easy to imagine with what fine scorn and apt stories he would repel any attempt to place him on a pedestal and Hellenize him as a demigod. It is therefore with an intensely human Lincoln that we wish to deal. The original purpose in making this book was simply to consider the evolution of Lincoln's mind in approaching the emancipation proclamation, with such personal estimates of his contemporaries as would show the manner and method of the man as he dealt with the great problem, the solution of which was committed to him. The study of the case, however, grew in interest as we proceeded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
