Book excerpt: Excerpt from President Lincoln as War Statesman The views of these professedly military histories, mingled in varying proportions, we find swallowed whole by the writers of many general histories who repeat, parrot-like, jibes against Lincoln's imbecile vacillation or bull-headed blundering, as the case may be, without attempting to understand or to analyze the points under discussion. Amid all this harsh condemnation the singu lar fact stands out that the common people, in whose good sense and judgment Lincoln so firmly trusted, have returned the compliment; they have not only refused to accept the quips of the captions critics but, on the con trary, as James Schouler so aptly puts it, see more colossal as time recedes, the figure of Abraham Lincoln, towering above his contemporaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Man and Statesman We are here today in praise of "arms and a man." And in praising the wisdom of the man or recounting the success of the arms it is no part of our purpose to deride those who disagreed with that man nor to taunt those who were vanquished by those arms. We are here in memory of the humblest citizen of a nation, and in honor of the greatest statesman of his time. Abraham Lincoln's life ran the whole gamut of American society. He was born into the "poor white trash" of the Southern backwoods; he was pioneer and frontiersman; he was rail-splitter and flat-boatman; he was champion wrestler, cock-pit umpire and saloon-keeper; he was merchant, surveyor and country lawyer; he was the leading lawyer and politician, the acknowledged head and the champion orator of a political party in his state; he was legislator, congressman, statesman and President; he was leader in the most remarkable war of modern times - he was the tallest figure of the nineteenth century - he was the liberator of a race and martyr to the life of his country. Abraham Lincoln was the first president of the United States who was characteristically American. One hundred years ago in what was then Hardin County, Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln was born. In the aristocratic sense of the phrase, he was a man of "no ancestry." His father was probably descended from people who came first from England to Massachusetts, thence to Virginia, thence to Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln's grandfather and namesake was a brother-in-law of Daniel Boone and was one of the pioneers of the middle West. This grandfather had been shot by the Indians when Lincoln's father, Thomas Lincoln, was about six years of age. Mordecai, brother of Lincoln's father, is reputed to have been industrious, but Thomas, the father of Abraham Lincoln, was what we might call, without exaggeration, lazy and trifling. When we consider this man's ancestry and early surroundings, we are both enlightened and confused: we are enlightened in that we can see in his humble origin the source of his sympathy for his humblest fellow-man, in his frontier life we can see the cause of his manly independence, and in his early associations we can see the foundation of his firm faith in the "plain people." - but we are confused in that we cannot rind in his immediate parentage and environment the necessary stimulus and inspiration, and from his early lack of opportunity we cannot account for the development of mental power, tact and executive ability. In these latter respects the law of cause and effect is apparently broken. His mother had been one Nancy Hanks, a woman of very humble origin and of a melancholy disposition. His father Thomas was a thriftless, ignorant fellow who loved to tell stories. He seemed to lack the instinct or ambition to settle down and build a decent home, even after he as married.

Book Synopsis Abraham Lincoln by : John T. Richards
Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by John T. Richards and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: The Lawyer-Statesman The attitude of the great President toward the Southern States throughout the Civil War, and in relation to the reconstruction of state governments in them, was always friendly. He sought to aid and encourage those States to reestablish themselves as members of the Union. He was never inclined to force negro suffrage upon them, but believed that the States should be left free to grant or withhold the right of suffrage as each State might determine for itself. The facts clearly prove that Mr. Lincoln was Opposed to the system which has become known as carpet-bag Government, but believed that the loyal white citizens of every State should be allowed to control its political affairs. It has been said that he favored woman's suffrage also, but there is not sufficient evidence to warrant this conclusion, as will be seen from a perusal of these pages. Lincoln's criticism of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Dred Scott vs. Sanford, has been often referred to in recent years as a justification for assaults upon the courts, but a careful review of all that he said upon that subject shows that he was a firm believer in and champion of the independence of the judiciary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln No man has expressed the feelings of America so well as President Lincoln, and no man in this or any other land has been more truly great. He was the child of poor parents. He was born in a log cabin. He went to school but little, because he lived where there were no schools. When a boy and young man he worked hard with his hands and it gave him a healthy body. He studied a few good books and it gave him a clear head. He liked history. He mastered mathematics and did surveying. He was interested in politics, and his mind' grasped the laws easily. He read about the principles of government, and thought about the rights of men. He became a lawyer. He was elected to the Legislature of Illinois, and then to the Congress of the United States. The experiences thus gained helped to make him a suc cessful lawyer._ He was much interested in the affairs of the people, in universal justice, and in the good of his country. He thought for himself, and he thought hard and straight. He had a keen sense of humor and a fine gift of wit. He wrote so plainly, and he spoke in public so clearly, that all the people could under stand him. But he had even greater qualities. His habits were simple and he lived without great show. He was true and sin cere, and the people believed in him. All these things made him a leader, a statesman, and a very great man. The country was deeply agitated about slavery. It had existed in all of the states in earlier years, and it then existed in all of the Southern States, where there were five millions of slaves. He abhorred human bondage, but he abhorred war also. The laws allowed slavery in the South, and he thought it impossible to change the laws and abolish slavery without bringing on a war between the Northern and the isouthern States. He hoped for an easier and better way. But many tried to carry slavery into the new states and territories that were being 'formed beyond the Mississippi river. He was Opposed to that, whether war came or not. He spoke hundreds of times against it, and what he said made him President of the United States. This brought on a dreadful war, which lasted four years. Great armies of citizens were organized to save the Union. Half a million of the best men in the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Mr. President and Gentlemen - As I am informed, the Cherry Tree Club meets once each year to commemorate the birthday of the Father of his Country. Your club is composed almost entirely of'young men, most of whom were born since the close of the Civil War, and few, if any, of you were old enough at that time to have any personal recollection of the events that marked the most tragic period in the history of the Republic. I am asked to portray the character of the man who was not only the central figure in that Titanic struggle, but whose memory is, and will ever be, enshrined in the hearts of all' liberty-loving people throughout the habitable globe. May I not hope that you will bear with me if I shall attempt more than a brief pass ing tribute to the character of this remarkable man. May I not be indulged in an endeavor to quicken in your minds the meaning of that great epoch in our history, while bring ing to your attention some of the conspicuous characteristics of the man about whom I am to speak, and some of the events connected with which he will always be the one prominent personality. In devotion to his country; in breadth of statesman ship; in exalted character; in blameless private life, the name of Abraham Lincoln will grow brighter with the ages - the synonym of true greatness - the harbinger of that period to which we all look, of peace on earth, good will to man.

Book Synopsis Abraham Lincoln, Philosopher Statesman by : Joseph R. Fornieri
Download or read book Abraham Lincoln, Philosopher Statesman written by Joseph R. Fornieri and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2015 ISHS Superior Achievement Award What constitutes Lincoln’s political greatness as a statesman? As a great leader, he saved the Union, presided over the end of slavery, and helped to pave the way for an interracial democracy. His great speeches provide enduring wisdom about human equality, democracy, free labor, and free society. Joseph R. Fornieri contends that Lincoln’s political genius is best understood in terms of a philosophical statesmanship that united greatness of thought and action, one that combined theory and practice. This philosophical statesmanship, Fornieri argues, can best be understood in terms of six dimensions of political leadership: wisdom, prudence, duty, magnanimity, rhetoric, and patriotism. Drawing on insights from history, politics, and philosophy, Fornieri tackles the question of how Lincoln’s statesmanship displayed each of these crucial elements. Providing an accessible framework for understanding Lincoln’s statesmanship, this thoughtful study examines the sixteenth president’s political leadership in terms of the traditional moral vision of statecraft as understood by epic political philosophers such as Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. Fornieri contends that Lincoln’s character is best understood in terms of Aquinas’s understanding of magnanimity or greatness of soul, the crowning virtue of statesmanship. True political greatness, as embodied by Lincoln, involves both humility and sacrificial service for the common good. The enduring wisdom and timeless teachings of these great thinkers, Fornieri shows, can lead to a deeper appreciation of statesmanship and of its embodiment in Abraham Lincoln. With the great philosophers and books of western civilization as his guide, Fornieri demonstrates the important contribution of normative political philosophy to an understanding of our sixteenth president. Informed by political theory that draws on the classics in revealing the timelessness of Lincoln’s example, his interdisciplinary study offers profound insights for anyone interested in the nature of leadership, statesmanship, political philosophy, political ethics, political history, and constitutional law.
