Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Power of the Commander-in-Chief to Declare Martial Law, and Decree Emancipation: As Shown From B. R. Curtis Hon. B. R. Curtis. - Sir: You will allow one of those to whom you dedicate your pamphlet, one sworn to support the Constitution, and a friend to the principles of civil liberty embodied in it, to reply to some of its doctrines, and state a few things that occur on reading it. You assume that the matter of the Proclamation was intended only to be submitted to the people as matter of discussion, as you say; yet you do not seem to really think so when you take such pains to prepare your argument against the power which the President asserts for himself. I cannot think with you that there is nothing in the position of the country to prevent the exercise of this power from being called in question. On the contrary, you assume the gravest responsibility that an American can assume, in deliberately declaring that the exercise of the highest war power is the usurpation of military despotism. In candor it must be said, that were you as pure a patriot as you think yourself to be, it would be expected that you would privately submit your views to the Executive who asserts this power, and if this did not change his opinions you would conscientiously abstain from giving public utterance to them. For this is one of those cases in which the pen is mightier than the sword. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Lincoln s Emancipation Proclamation

Download or read book Lincoln s Emancipation Proclamation written by Allen C. Guelzo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-11-07 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of our greatest president. No single official paper in American history changed the lives of as many Americans as Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. But no American document has been held up to greater suspicion. Its bland and lawyerlike language is unfavorably compared to the soaring eloquence of the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural; its effectiveness in freeing the slaves has been dismissed as a legal illusion. And for some African-Americans the Proclamation raises doubts about Lincoln himself. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation dispels the myths and mistakes surrounding the Emancipation Proclamation and skillfully reconstructs how America's greatest president wrote the greatest American proclamation of freedom.

Book Dictionary of Early American Philosophers

Download or read book Dictionary of Early American Philosophers written by John R. Shook and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 1252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers, which contains over 400 entries by nearly 300 authors, provides an account of philosophical thought in the United States and Canada between 1600 and 1860. The label of "philosopher" has been broadly applied in this Dictionary to intellectuals who have made philosophical contributions regardless of academic career or professional title. Most figures were not academic philosophers, as few such positions existed then, but they did work on philosophical issues and explored philosophical questions involved in such fields as pedagogy, rhetoric, the arts, history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, medicine, anthropology, religion, metaphysics, and the natural sciences. Each entry begins with biographical and career information, and continues with a discussion of the subject's writings, teaching, and thought. A cross-referencing system refers the reader to other entries. The concluding bibliography lists significant publications by the subject, posthumous editions and collected works, and further reading about the subject.

Book Lincoln   s Hundred Days

    Book Details:
  • Author : Louis P. Masur
  • Publisher : Harvard University Press
  • Release : 2012-09-22
  • ISBN : 0674067533
  • Pages : 385 pages

Download or read book Lincoln s Hundred Days written by Louis P. Masur and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The time has come now," Abraham Lincoln told his cabinet as he presented the preliminary draft of a "Proclamation of Emancipation." Lincoln's effort to end slavery has been controversial from its inception-when it was denounced by some as an unconstitutional usurpation and by others as an inadequate half-measure-up to the present, as historians have discounted its import and impact. At the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, Louis Masur seeks to restore the document's reputation by exploring its evolution. Lincoln's Hundred Days is the first book to tell the full story of the critical period between September 22, 1862, when Lincoln issued his preliminary Proclamation, and January 1, 1863, when he signed the final, significantly altered, decree. In those tumultuous hundred days, as battlefield deaths mounted, debate raged. Masur commands vast primary sources to portray the daily struggles and enormous consequences of the president's efforts as Lincoln led a nation through war and toward emancipation. With his deadline looming, Lincoln hesitated and calculated, frustrating friends and foes alike, as he reckoned with the anxieties and expectations of millions. We hear these concerns, from poets, cabinet members and foreign officials, from enlisted men on the front and free blacks as well as slaves. Masur presents a fresh portrait of Lincoln as a complex figure who worried about, listened to, debated, prayed for, and even joked with his country, and then followed his conviction in directing America toward a terrifying and thrilling unknown.
