Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by John T. Richards and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: The Lawyer-Statesman The attitude of the great President toward the Southern States throughout the Civil War, and in relation to the reconstruction of state governments in them, was always friendly. He sought to aid and encourage those States to reestablish themselves as members of the Union. He was never inclined to force negro suffrage upon them, but believed that the States should be left free to grant or withhold the right of suffrage as each State might determine for itself. The facts clearly prove that Mr. Lincoln was Opposed to the system which has become known as carpet-bag Government, but believed that the loyal white citizens of every State should be allowed to control its political affairs. It has been said that he favored woman's suffrage also, but there is not sufficient evidence to warrant this conclusion, as will be seen from a perusal of these pages. Lincoln's criticism of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Dred Scott vs. Sanford, has been often referred to in recent years as a justification for assaults upon the courts, but a careful review of all that he said upon that subject shows that he was a firm believer in and champion of the independence of the judiciary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln as a Lawyer Springfield was only a few miles away and there is every reason to believe that Lincoln attended the sessions of Circuit Court there. Then, as he himself says In the days of the Black Hawk War, I fought, bled and came away, but not before becoming acquainted with his future law partner, Major John T. Stuart of'the Springfield Volunteers, whose friendly advice and loan of law books encouraged him to continue the study of the law. The berry-lincoln store fiasco which came next had only two redeem ing features - plenty of leisure for study and his purchase of a set of Blackstone which he found at the bottom of a barrel of odds and, ends he had bought, out of the kindness of his heart, to aid a passerby. That was a red letter day in his life and we have his own word for it that he literally devoured the volumes.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by Charles Washington Moores and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Lawyer It is not so many years since a simple-minded country lawyer from the prairies of Illinois, standing before the Capi tol, pledged himself, for a second time, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. He had walked through the valley of the shadow of death, and the people to whom he spoke had walked with him. A sudden sunshine fell upon his care-worn face as he closed his appeal: With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. Four years earlier, standing before a multitude who neither understood nor trusted him, he had said to his dis satisfied fellow countrymen We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle field and pa triot 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. Ever since, men have asked the questions: Who taught him? Where did he gain the power to say so simply the words that have staid in the memories and hearts of men through all these years?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A. Lincoln, Successful LawyerMany hundreds of books and thousands of articles have been written about Abraham Lincoln. A small part of this literature contains accounts, usually based on traditional misinformation, which tend to deprive him of his early abilities, ambitions and successes. Similar fables concerning his pre-presidential failures have some times created the impression that our Sixteenth President, who made his living as a lawyer, was not a successful one. Extensive research has shown that such a notion has no foundation in fact.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Lincoln the Constitutional Lawyer Classic Reprint written by John Maxcy Zane and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln, the Constitutional Lawyer Lincoln, The Man is too much given to hurling the contumelious stone. His ignorance on matters of ordinary historical knowledge is astonishing. As an instance, he says (p. 25) that Jackson called the alliance of Clay and John Quincy Adams a combination of the Puritan and the blackleg. Imagine Jackson quoting Fielding, from whom the words come. Every tyro knows that John Randolph ap plied the quotation and Clay and Randolph fought a duel over the aspersion, Yet Masters is not without value as showing the attitude of the Douglas Democrats in Illinois during the years from 1854. To 1860. He does not seem to be very well read in the historical sources for that period. Lord Charnwood in his book is wholly without understanding as to our constitutional law and seems to have no juristic conceptions whatever. (see notes 24 and 53, infra.) Not one of the authors examines Lincoln's constructive constitutional policy and many seem to think that he as President was constantly violating the Constitution, which is a wholly untenable position. It is not necessary to notice the general mass of writing upon Lincoln's poli tical career, for it affords no light on Lincoln as a framer of a con stitutional polity. A late book is Lincoln and his Cabinet by an author named Macartney. It has no value for the legal aspect of the President. Another late book, by Emanuel Hertz, shows very great insight as to some aspects of Lincoln as a lawyer. But for the legal constitutional aspect of Lincoln a very late book, The Reward of Patriotism, is by far the best. It is by Lucy Shelton Stewart, and is buttressed by adequate references and great research. Some of the author's personal opinions are not convincing. The book came out after this address was written. The author has certainly shown some new facts as to Robert E. Lee.

A lawyer, and charged less than any other practitioner of his ability and station, to the great annoyance of partners and other practitioners alike. His famous causes, or most all of them, have been listed and enumerated, and an entire literature has sprung up about many of them; but one phase of his practice which took him on the Circuit for months at a time, has somehow been overlooked, and this omission has to do with some of the local partners he had in different points in Illinois - particularly in the Eighth Circuit.

Every ambitious young lawyer aspired to go to the legislature, and Lincoln served four terms in the lower house of Illinois. There is very little record of. His life in that period. He made rather faint and declining love to one or two girls, and finally carried off Mary Todd from under the addresses of Stephen A. Douglas, who was destined to be his great rival. Then in 1846 he was elected to Con gress on an agreement that he should serve only a single term. Somehow he could not strike the key of that Congress. He boasted that he had voted forty-two times for the principle of the Wil mot proviso against slavery; but his few recorded speeches are among the poorest of his writings; and from the end of his term in 1849 till his inauguration as president twelve years later he held no public office, and Douglas was able later to twit him with being a disappointed man.
