Lincoln and His World by Richard Lawrence Miller Pdf

In the climax of Richard Lawrence Miller's epic four-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln's pre-presidential years, a blunder by the proponents of slavery propels Lincoln toward the White House. Initially, passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act seems to be a victory for the South, opening the American West to slavery. Ultimately, however, the North rises in anger, with Lincoln helping to fan the flames of rage. Before the first shot of the Civil War is fired, the ambitious westerner is transformed, seeking more power yet, but wielding it in defense of the American dream. His dedication and dependability set him apart from his Republican competitors and help him secure his party's presidential nomination in 1860. With this installment, the most detailed and comprehensive biography of a pre-presidential Abraham Lincoln in the past 100 years comes to its conclusion.

Abraham Lincoln in 1854 by Horace White Pdf

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln in 1854: An Address Delivered Before the Illinois State Historical Society, at Its 9th Annual Meeting at Springfield, Illinois, Jan; 30, 1908 And so it seems to me now. Lincoln's defeat was my first great dis appointment ln politics, and I was slow in forgiving Judd, Palmer, and Cook for their share in bringing it about. But before the campaign of 1858 came on I was able to see that they had acted wisely and well. They had not only satisfied their own constituents, and led many of them into the new Republican organization, but they had given a powerful reinforce ment to the party of freedom in the nation at large, in the person of Lyman Trumbull, whose high abilities and noble career in the Senate paved the way for thousands of recruits from the ranks of the Democratic party.

Abraham Lincoln in Peoria, Illinois (Classic Reprint) by Byron Cloyd Bryner Pdf

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln in Peoria, Illinois The writer cannot refrain from publicly ex pressing his surprise and pleasure at the reception it has received and with the requests for general distribution. Complying with this demand this second edition has been issued. It contains the first edition complete and additional matter such as pic tures of Peoria as it then appeared - early steam boats - the first railroad train to enter town over the Bureau Valley road (now the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific) from Chicago, which incident occurred November 7th, 1854, three weeks after the lincoln-douglas debate of October 16th hotels where entertainment was furnished for man and beast - a picture of Peoria in 1832 when Lin coln passed through on foot upon his return from the Black Hawk war - the old market housealso, after a long search, we have found a partial report of Judge Douglas' address, preceding Mr. Lincoln's on October 16, 1854. As far as we have been able to ascertain, this is the first time it has been published in any book. All these create an atmosphere from which may be formed a picture which it is confidently believed will prove of inter estand value to the ever increasing army of stu dents of the stirring times which preceded our National recognition and gave liberty to every man, woman and child, regardless of race, creed or color, throughout the land, and united all in ever increasing love for the flag. Lincoln's speech as given in the first edition is taken from the Peoria Transcript. Upon Lin coln's return to Springfield be, three days later, wrote out and revised it, desiring no doubt to give a more clear and not to be misunderstood expres sion of his views upon the questions then at issue. In this volume is given the reporter's copy as it appeared in the first edition as well as the address as personally revised by Mr. Lincoln upon his return to Springfield. Allowance must be made for possible errors in the reporter's copy, for shorthand was then but little in vogue and the speech was probably taken in long hand at the time delivered, but upon care ful reading I cannot help but think it accurately reported.

Civil War on the Western Border, 1854-1865 (Classic Reprint) by Jay Monaghan Pdf

Excerpt from Civil War on the Western Border, 1854-1865Abraham lincoln sat on the edge of his bed talking to Lyle Dickey. The day had been a hard one on the Illinois Circuit. Dickey blinked sleepily at the yellow candle flame, but Lincoln wanted to talk. News of the pas sage of the kansas-nebraska Act by Congress had just been received, and Lincoln's deliberate mind would not rest. He had deserted the hustings for the more lucrative practice of law, but this act aroused his indignation and tempted him to re-enter politics. Dickey fell asleep. Next morning, when he awoke, Lincoln sat propped up in bed still talking as though the conversation had been uninterrupted.Lincoln had watched excitement grow over the Kansas - Nebraska bill since its introduction on January 4, 1854, by his political antagonist of twenty years' standing, Senator Stephen A. Douglas. The Little Giant, as he was called, had concocted the measure to end political turmoil over slavery, make him the leader of a reunited Democratic Party and, perhaps, President of the United States. His bill's panacea was simple: Quit dis criminating against Slaveholding pioneers; open all territories to settlers from both North and South, and let them decide by vote whether to ex clude or countenance slavery. What could be fairer than that?Douglas understood the rules of equity better than he did the temper of the American people. He failed, utterly, to foresee that this doctrine of squatter sovereignty would ignite a civil war.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
