Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Convention That Nominated Lincoln: An Address Delivered Before the Chicago Historical Society on May 18, 1916, the Fifty-Sixth Anniversary of Lincoln's Nomination for the Presidency Our national nominating conventions are unique: nothing of the kind exists in any other country. As great national spectacles they attract people from all sections of the country and even from Europe. In the history of the Republican party, three national conventions stand pre-eminent; that of 1860, which gave to the country Abraham Lincoln; that of 1880, in which was fought the great battle over the attempt to nominate General Grant for a third term; and that of 1912, the sad story of which is all too familiar to some of us. Each of these outstanding conventions was held in the City of Chicago, and that of 1860 was the first national nominating convention ever held in that city. The selection of Chicago as the convention city was itself significant of the important part which the young Northwest had come to play in national politics and has continued to play ever since. In preparing this lecture, I have tried largely to forget what is contained in the accounts of this convention appearing in the standard histories, and have tried to present a story of the convention based almost wholly upon the official record and upon material gleaned from the Chicago newspapers, which so far as I am aware have not been used by the authors of the histories just mentioned. I shall try to relate the story of the convention so far as practicable in the language of contemporary eyewitnesses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire the Salute! Abe Lincoln Is Nominated!: Murat Halstead Reports the Republican National Convention in Chicago, May 16, 17 and 18, 1860 N 0 one, Lincoln would say, could escape history. A rifle shot in Kansas, hammers knocking together a gallows in Virginia affected every-day citizens in Chicago, St. Louis, Charleston, Richmond, New York, Boston. When they hanged old John Brown, Murat Halstead made the journey to Charlestown so that he could give readers of the Cincinnati Commercial a per sonal story of the fateful day when against a bright midday sky the hills of western Virginia had seemed so very blue and old Brown had murmured, A man couldn't have asked for prettier weather. Now, with another spring, Halstead again was matching strides with history. In early May, in Baltimore, he watched, listened, scribbled as a conservative anti-democratic coalition of old Whigs and other political dissidents, mostly from the South, organized the Constitutional Union Party and nominated Sen ator John Bell of Tennessee for President. Halstead wrote his story and dashed for the train, Chicago-bound to report the convention of the six-year-old Republican Party. When we meet Murat Halstead in these pages, he is still en route to Chicago, and quite unaware that his personal stake in this mission would be immortality in political journalism. Hal stead, on the threshold of a brilliant career, would not turn thirty-one until the second of September. His background was entirely Ohioan - birthplace, Paddy's Run, Butler County; first nineteen years a see-saw between summers working on his father's farm and winters at school; then a short stint teaching before entering Farmers' College, near Cincinnati, whence he graduated in 1851. Halstead's first writing was a product of these undergraduate years. Apparently he revealed a fair talent for he quickly found employment in Cincinnati with the Atlas and then the Enquirer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disclaimer: This book is not a book by Edward Achorn, nor is it affiliated with them. It is an independent publication that summarizes Achorn's Book in detail. About The original Book The vivid, behind-the-scenes story of perhaps the most consequential political moment in American history-Abraham Lincoln's history-changing nomination to lead the Republican Party in the 1860 presidential election Illinois lawyer Abraham Lincoln had a record of political failure. In 1858, he had lost a celebrated Senate bid against incumbent Stephen Douglas, his second failed Senate run, and had not held public office since one term in Congress a decade earlier. As the Republican National Convention opened in mid-May 1860 in Chicago, powerful New York Senator William Seward was the overwhelming favorite for the presidential nomination, with notables like Salmon Chase and Edward Bates in the running. Few thought Lincoln stood a chance-though stubborn Illinois circuit Judge David Davis had come to fight for his friend anyway. Such was the political landscape as Edward Achorn's The Lincoln Miracle opens on Saturday, May 12, 1860. Chronicling the tense political drama as it unfolded over the next six days, Achorn explores the genius of Lincoln's quiet strategy, the vicious partisanship tearing apart America, the fierce battles raging over racism and slavery, and booming Chicago as a symbol of the modernization transforming the nation. Closely following the shrewd insiders on hand, from Seward power broker Thurlow Weed to editor Horace Greeley - bent on stopping his former friend, Seward-Achorn brings alive arguably the most consequential political story in America's history. From smoky hotel rooms to night marches by the Wide Awakes, the new Republican youth organization, to fiery speeches on the floor of the giant convention center called The Wigwam, Achorn portrays a political climate even more contentious than our own today, out of which the seemingly impossible long shot prevailed, to the nation's everlasting benefit. As atmospheric and original as Achorn's previous Every Drop of Blood, The Lincoln Miracle is essential reading for any Lincoln aficionado as it is for anyone who cares about our nation's history.

Download or read book Lincoln for President written by Timothy S. Good and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-04-22 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a narrative of Abraham Lincoln's bid for the White House from 1858 through 1860. Lincoln seemed like a long shot from the beginning--a one term congressmen, he'd never served as a judge or governor or in any statewide office, and he had lost two campaigns for the U.S. Senate. How, then, did he overtake several seemingly better-qualified candidates to ultimately defeat William Seward for his young party's nomination? This work offers a day-by-day account that demonstrates how Lincoln's character, and his upholding of the Declaration of Independence's bold statement of human equality, helped him triumph. Those traits, it is argued, were far more important than any political machinations or backroom deals at the convention. This book is a sequel to The Lincoln-Douglas Debates and the Making of a President by the same author (McFarland, 2007).
Download or read book With Malice Toward None written by Stephen B. Oates and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1994-01-05 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive life of Abraham Lincoln, With Malice Toward None is historian Stephen B. Oates's acclaimed and enthralling portrait of America's greatest leader. Oates masterfully charts, with the pacing of a novel, Lincoln's rise from bitter poverty in America's midwestern frontier to become a self-made success in business, law, and regional politics. The second half of the book examines his legendary leadership on the national stage as president during one of the country's most tumultuous and bloody periods, the Civil War years, which concluded tragically with Lincoln's assassination. In this award-winning biography, Lincoln steps forward out of the shadow of myth as a recognizable, fully drawn American whose remarkable life continues to inspire and inform us today.
