Book excerpt: Lucas Morel examines what the public life of Abraham Lincoln teaches about the role of religion in a self-governing society. Lincoln's understanding of the requirements of republican government led him to accommodate and direct religious sentiment toward responsible self-government. As a successful republic requires a moral or self-controlled people, Lincoln believed, the moral and religious sensibilities of a society should be nurtured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely look at the atmosphere of political hostility surrounding the Civil War, and the venom faced by America’s sixteenth president. Today, Abraham Lincoln is a beloved American icon, widely considered to be our best president. It was not always so. This book takes a look at what Lincoln’s contemporaries actually thought and said about him during his lifetime, when political hostilities, and ultimately civil war, raged. The era in which our sixteenth president lived and governed was the most rough-and-tumble in the history of American politics. The hostility behind the criticism aimed at Lincoln by the great men of his time, on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line, is startling, the spectacular prejudice against him often shocking for its cruelty, intensity, and unrelenting vigor. The plain truth is that Lincoln was deeply reviled by many in his time. This book is both an entertaining read and a well-researched, serious look at the political context that begat the president’s predicament. Lincoln’s humanity has been unintentionally trivialized by some historians and writers who have hidden away the real man in a patina of bronze. This book helps us better understand the man he was, and how history is better and more clearly viewed through a long-distance lens. “Not the warm and fuzzy portrait we’re used to seeing . . . An eye-opening study, the first of its kind to focus on what Lincoln’s contemporaries really thought of him. On the other hand, this is not mean-spirited Lincoln-bashing . . . Tagg assesses his presidency through the social and political context of mid-19th century America. It was a time, for example, when ‘the rabid press routinely destroyed the reputations of public men,’ when the stature of the presidency, ‘stained by feeble performances from a string of the poorest presidents in the nation’s history,’ had plunged over decades.” —Civil War Times Magazine
Download or read book Lincoln s Last Speech written by Louis P. Masur and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did Abraham Lincoln envision when he talked about "reconstruction?" Assassinated in 1865, the president did not have a chance to begin the work of reconciling the North and South, nor to oversee Reconstruction as an official postwar strategy. Yet his final speech, given to thousands gathered in the rain outside the White House on April 11, 1865, gives a clear indication of what Lincoln's postwar policy might have looked like-one that differed starkly from what would emerge in the tumultuous decade that followed. In Lincoln's Last Speech, renowned historian and author Louis P. Masur offers insight into this critical address and its vision of a reconstructed United States. Coming two days after Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox and a week after the fall of Richmond, Lincoln's speech was expected to be a victory oration. Instead, he looked to the future, discussing how best to restore the seceded states to the national government, and even endorsing limited black suffrage. Delving into the language and arguments of Lincoln's last address, Masur traces the theme of reconstruction as it developed throughout his presidency, starting with the very earliest days of the war. Masur illuminates the evolution of Lincoln's thinking and the national debate around reconstruction, touching on key moments such as the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction on December 8, 1863, and Lincoln's pocket veto of the Wade-Davis bill in July 1864. He also examines social reconstruction, including the plight of freedmen and the debate over the place of blacks in society; and considers the implications of Lincoln's speech after April 1865, when Andrew Johnson assumed office and the ground was laid for the most radical phases of the postwar policy. A nuanced study of Lincoln's views on national reconciliation, this work gives us a better understanding of the failures that occurred with postwar Reconstruction and the eventual path that brought the country to reunion.

Download or read book Reconstruction beyond 150 written by Orville Vernon Burton and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No period of United States history is more important and still less understood than Reconstruction. Now, at the sesquicentennial of the Reconstruction era, Vernon Burton and Brent Morris bring together the best new scholarship on the critical years after the Civil War and before the onset of Jim Crow, synthesizing social, political, economic, and cultural approaches to understanding this crucial period. Reconstruction was the most progressive period in United States history. Although marred by frequent violence and tragedy, it was a revolutionary era that offered hope, opportunity, and against all odds, a new birth of freedom for all Americans. Even though many of the gains of Reconstruction were rolled back and replaced with a repressive social and legal regime for African Americans, the radical spark was never fully extinguished. Its spirit fanned back into flame with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and its ramifications remain palpable to this day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Gov; Oliver P. Morton: At the Union State Convention Held at Indianapolis, Ind;, February 23, 1864 It seemed an appropriate occasion to pass in review the political affairs of the State during the past two years, and as he desired not to be misapprehended or misunderstood he had taken such time as he could gain from official duties and frequent illness to put in writing what he was about to say. He then read as follows: Copperhead Action in the Legislature. The beginning of the late session was signalized in the House by an act as absurd and insulting as it was revolutionary. The Constitution imposes the obligation upon the Governor of communicating with the Legislature by messages from time to time, and it imposes a like obligation upon the Legislature of receiving and and considering such messages. In discharge of this obligation, the Governor sent his semi-annual message to the Senate and House. The Senate received the message and ordered it to be printed, but the House refused to receive it, returned it to the Governor, and passed a resolution receiving and adopting the message of the Governor of New York. [Laughter.] From such a beginning it was not hard to predict the end. The House had begun its Legislative course by a wanton insult to the Executive, by a flagrant violation of the Constitution, which it had, but a few hours before, sworn to support. The revolutionary policy thus inaugurated was pursued with increased violence and open disregard of Constitutional obligations. Its time was chiefly consumed by the introduction of disloyal resolutions, the utterance of factious and treasonable sentiments, intended to excite the people against the Government, and destroy its power to suppress the rebellion. The necessary and legitimate subjects of legislation were disregarded or kept back. Aside from an appropriation for their own per diem and mileage, which was passed on the first day of the session, every other appropriation was absolutely suppressed until Friday, the last day but one of the session, when it was known that no quorum was present in the House. - Among the appropriations which should have been made at the beginning of the session were: First - A sufficient sum for the relief of soldiers' families. Second - A sum sufficient to relieve the necessities and provide for the sick and wounded soldiers in the field. Third - A sum sufficient to pay the military claims which had been allowed by the Auditing Committee, and about which there was no dispute, some of them having been standing for many months. Fourth - A sum sufficient to pay special surgeons for services and expenses, rendered by order of the Governor, in the field. Fifth - A sum sufficient to sustain and continue the operations of the State Arsenal; it having been shown that that institution had been profitable to the State, and of great service to the State and Government. Sixth - A sum sufficient to pay the officers and men of the Indiana Legion, for their services rendered in protecting the border.

Book excerpt: Whitman has long been more than a celebrated American author. He has become a kind of hero, whose poetry vindicates beliefs not only about poetry but also about sexuality and power. In Whitman Possessed: Poetry, Sexuality, and Popular Authority, Mark Maslan presents a challenging theory of Whitman's poetics of possession and his understandings of individual and national identity. By reading his works in relation to nineteenth-century theories of sexual desire, poetic inspiration, and political representation, Maslan argues that the disintegration of individuality in Whitman's texts is not meant to undermine cultural hierarchies, but to make poetic and political authority newly viable. In particular, Maslan explores the social impact of nineteenth-century sexual hygiene literature on Whitman's works. He argues that Whitman developed his ideas about poetry, sexuality, and authority by responding to a prominent argument that desire subjected male bodies to a penetrating and feminizing force. By identifying poetic inspiration with this erotic dynamic, Whitman imbued his poetic voice with a kind of transformative power. Whitman aligned his poetry with an impartial authority hard to find elsewhere and inclined his work as a poet to speak for the voiceless, for the masses, and for an entire nation.
Download or read book Reunion Without Compromise written by Michael Perman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1973-07-27 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the political leadership of the Southern States during the decisive three years immediately after the American Civil War. This was the crucial moment when the terms and shape of the post-war sectional settlement were being deliberated and determined and its outcome depended on the policy pursued by the Federal government towards the leaders of the Confederacy as well as on the Southerners' response to whatever course was adopted. Consequently, the Southern politicians were at the centre of the whole problem of reunion. It is very surprising, therefore, that until this study there has been virtually no analysis by historians of the goals, strategies and priorities of the Confederates. Yet without this, the struggle over Southern readmission cannot properly be understood.
