This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Speech at Peoria, Illinois, in Reply to Senator Douglas After returning his thanks to the democracy of Peoria for the kind recep tion extended to him, Judge Douglas proceeded to discuss the principles of the Nebraska Bill, and to defend himself against the attacks of his opponents. Before entering upon the merits of the case he referred brie y to the number and political character of the opposition speakers who had been detailed to follow him through the State. In an abolition settlement an abolitionist was deputed as the organ of denunciation and abuse. In another place, where the Whigs were not wholly abolitionized, a half Whig was selected. In a Demo cratic locality, the duty was assigned to any disaffected Democrat who was willing to unite with the opponents of the Nebraska Bill and denounce its author. It would only be fair that his antagonist should be one who would proclaim the same sentiments in Knoxville that were uttered in Peoria. If this were done, every true Whig in Peoria would turn his back upon the fusion advocates. His sentiments would be uttered in any locality. His principles were broad and national, and could be proclaimed with equal freedom in New England or New Orleans in the east or the west the north or the south. Not so with his opponents. Their principles were too sectional to extend beyond the Ohio, and were designed to array the North against the South. The principle of the Nebraska Bill was to allow the people of the terri tory to decide domestic questions for themselves.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution written by James M. McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-06-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James McPherson has emerged as one of America's finest historians. Battle Cry of Freedom, his Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the Civil War, was a national bestseller that Hugh Brogan, in The New York Times Book Review, called "history writing of the highest order." In that volume, McPherson gathered in the broad sweep of events, the political, social, and cultural forces at work during the Civil War era. Now, in Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution, he offers a series of thoughtful and engaging essays on aspects of Lincoln and the war that have rarely been discussed in depth. McPherson again displays his keen insight and sterling prose as he examines several critical themes in American history. He looks closely at the President's role as Commander-in-Chief of the Union forces, showing how Lincoln forged a national military strategy for victory. He explores the importance of Lincoln's great rhetorical skills, uncovering how--through parables and figurative language--he was uniquely able to communicate both the purpose of the war and a new meaning of liberty to the people of the North. In another section, McPherson examines the Civil War as a Second American Revolution, describing how the Republican Congress elected in 1860 passed an astonishing blitz of new laws (rivaling the first hundred days of the New Deal), and how the war not only destroyed the social structure of the old South, but radically altered the balance of power in America, ending 70 years of Southern power in the national government. The Civil War was the single most transforming and defining experience in American history, and Abraham Lincoln remains the most important figure in the pantheon of our mythology. These graceful essays, written by one of America's leading historians, offer fresh and unusual perspectives on both.
