Book excerpt: This book presents a brief overview of the lives and careers of the two men that led the opposing sides in the War Between the States: Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. The author, the son of a Confederate soldier, exposes Lincoln's personal deficiencies of character, his vacillating views on secession, his duplicity in calling for peace while secretly setting the stage for war, and his many violations of his oath and duty to uphold the Constitution. The unsullied integrity and statesmanship of Jefferson Davis is then presented in sharp contrast, along with an answer to the common charge of treason brought against the Southern people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this, the first dual biography of the two leaders, Bruce Chadwick argues that one of several reasons why the North won and the South lost can be found in the drastically different characters of the two presidents. The electric and flexible personality of Lincoln enabled him to build coalitions among warring political factions and become one of the strongest and most successful presidents in U.S. history. The inability of the uncompromising Davis to do the same contributed to the South's losing the war." "This is the first comprehensive study to compare the two leaders, and to reach firm conclusions about the war that transformed the United States from a slave empire into a model of democracy for the world. Many books have been written about both Lincoln and Davis. However, by contrasting the lives and presidencies of both men, the author provides a fascinating new perspective of the two leaders during the most volatile period in American history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Lincoln Davis written by Augustin Stucker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln is the story of the United States, and without either of their lives and influence we would not be the nation we are today. They were born within 9 months and 100 miles of each other in Kentucky log cabins. Their parallel lives from that point forward were eerily similar in spite of Davis remaining a life-long Southerner and Lincoln moving to and settling in Illinois. Each man had cold, emotionally distant fathers, both lost their first loves to disease within one month of each other, married strong Southern women much younger than themselves, and lost young sons while Presidents of the Union and the Confederacy. Both men were ambitious and drawn to the world of politics where Davis, an ardent slaveholder and state rights leader and Lincoln, seeking to limit and eradicate slavery, worked tirelessly to avoid Civil War up to the moment of Southern secession. Finally, Lincoln and Davis were each considered martyrs after leading their nations through the conclusion of the Civil War. This is their compelling story, including comparing the stark political events of their era to those being replayed across todays America.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures of each general and important people, places, and events in their lives *Includes an introduction for each president *Includes a Table of Contents *Includes bibliographies for each president Despite the fact that the Civil War began over 150 years ago, it remains one of the most widely discussed topics in America today, with Americans arguing over its causes, reenacting its famous battles, and debating which general was better than others. Americans continue to be fascinated by the Civil War leaders who made the difference between victory and defeat. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country's most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the "Westerner" who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn't live to witness his crowning achievement, becoming the first president assassinated when he was shot at Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. History has accorded Abraham Lincoln a spot in the pantheon of American politics for the manner in which he steered the Union to victory and into the Reconstruction period after the war. In turn, Jefferson Davis has been heavily criticized. Davis constantly clashed with Confederate generals like Joseph Johnston, the South's diplomacy failed to obtain foreign intervention, and he was unable to keep the Southern states together cohesively as the Confederate economy began to collapse. Whether the Civil War would have ended any differently with someone else in charge of the Confederacy will never be known, but Davis had a tumultuous presidency. Given the charged nature of the Civil War during the fighting and the years after it, the legacies of both men often obscure what they were like in life. The Civil War Presidents humanizes the two important leaders, chronicling their antebellum lives, their politics, their presidencies, and ultimately their legacies. Along with pictures of both presidents, an original introduction for both, and pictures of other important people, places and events in their lives, you will learn about the Civil War presidents like you never have before, in no time at all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States, and Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States, 1861-1865 "The time has come when men may speak freely, kindly, and truly of the past. The War Between the States, with its sacrifices, has ceased, and peace between the sections with its ennobling, refining and uplifting influences, has come to abide forever. They who would stay its marches and delay its reign are the enemies of the Nations happiness." Bennett H. Young, U.C.V., Louisville, Ky. Introduction Mothers and teachers are urging the Historian General to suggest histories for the true life of Jefferson Davis and of Abraham Lincoln, saying that the children in the schools today are getting distorted facts concerning both and when urged to write essays about these two men cannot find the right kind of reference books at home or in the school and public libraries. Complaints are coming that the teachers in our schools, many of them men and women of Southern birth, are teaching that Abraham Lincoln was a greater man, a man of more exalted purpose than was Jefferson Davis, and that the cause for which Davis stood was an unworthy cause." They make a plea that something shall be done and done quickly to meet the needs of the hour. In the cause of Truth, then, these sketches are prepared with the hope of undoing much of the evil already done, and with the hope of presenting these two leaders in a simple, truthful way so that they may be known and appreciated by even the youngest child in our schools. Many things not needful to know or discuss, because children cannot understand them, have been omitted, and only salient facts presented. That young people maybe interested, anecdotes of childhood, as far as possible, have been collected, also the public life and services of the two men to the United States Government have been stressed on account of Essay Contest U.D.C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War exposed regional and political divisions with internal violence never before experienced by a developng nation. In this new study, Dr. William O. Lawton takes a fresh look at the men who led the two distinct halves of this once-divided nation. As President of the Union and President of the confederacy, respectively, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis represented opposite sides of the American spectrum. Beginning in the places of their birth, Dr. Lawton follows the two presidents to the heights of power and into the depths of war. How Abraham Lincoln, an undereducated orator from Illinois, would politically outmaneuver Jefferson Davis, a product of southern gentility and military grooming, would prove to be the most important victory of the war. With hope in the human spirit and an affirmation of the national character, this fresh look at the Civil War examines both the fall of the Confederacy and the determination which rebuilt the union. Honest and inspiring, "Licoln and Davis: Two Opposite Sides," shows how America's greatest tragedy bacame America's greatest triumph.

Book excerpt: PRAISE FOR 1858 "Highly recommended-a gripping narrative of the critical year of 1858 and the nation's slide toward disunion and war...Readers seeking to understand how individuals are agents of historical change will find Chadwick's account of the failed leadership of President James Buchanan especially compelling." -G. Kurt Piehler, author of Remembering War the American Way "Chadwick's excellent history shows how the issue of slavery came crashing into the professional, public, and private lives of many Americans...Chadwick offers a fascinating premise: that James Buchanan, far from being a passive spectator, played a major role in the drama of his time. 1858 is a welcome addition to scholarship of the most volatile period of American history." -Frank Cucurullo, Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial As 1858 dawned, the men who would become the iconic figures of the Civil War had no idea it was about to occur: Jefferson Davis was dying, Robert E. Lee was on the verge of resigning from the military, and William Tecumseh Sherman had been reduced to running a roadside food stand. By the end of 1858, the lives of these men would be forever changed, and the North and South were set on a collision course that would end with the deaths of 630,000 young men. This is the story of seven men on the brink of a war that would transform them into American legends, and the events of the year that set our union on fire.
