Abraham Lincoln - Conservapedia
Dear Madam, I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. Forquer was then able to construct a fine new house in Springfield, complete with a curiosity residents had heard about from science but had never seen before: a lightning rod
Next you study Jonathan Edwards as the creative fusion of two seemingly opposed trends: the spiritual revival of the Great Awakening and the passion for reason sparked by the Enlightenment. x 28 The Social Science Revolution The idea that human societies could be reduced to scientific analysis was another byproduct of the Enlightenment, which saw no reason why the discovery of physical law should not be matched by the discovery of social law
President Abraham Lincoln Civil War South Secession Southern
Lincoln challenged Douglas directly in one of his greatest speeches -- "A house divided against itself cannot stand" -- and confronted Douglas on the questions of slavery and the inviolability of the Union in seven fierce debates. But he also harbored grave doubts about the intellectual capacity of African Americans, publicly used the n-word until at least 1862, enjoyed "darky" jokes and black-faced minstrel shows, and long favored permanent racial segregation and the voluntary "colonization" of freed slaves in Africa, the Caribbean, or South America
Biographer Alonzo McDonald wrote of an incident during his Lincoln's first legislative election: "A crowd of voters that had collected at Papsville, getting full of whiskey and enthusiasm, began a general fight. George Minier recalled this incident;"In the spring term of the Tazewell County Court in 1847, which at that time was held in the village of Tremont, I was detained as a witness an entire week

President Abraham Lincoln on Race
And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." In a speech on October 15, 1858, Lincoln went even further: "We profess to have no taste for running and catching niggers -- at least I profess no taste for that job at all. Ten years in the making, this engaging work reveals why "Lincoln's road to success was longer, more tortuous, and far less likely" than the other men, and why, when opportunity beckoned, Lincoln was "the best prepared to answer the call." This multiple biography further provides valuable background and insights into the contributions and talents of Seward, Chase, and Bates

By LAWRENCE DOWNES All babies born in the United States are citizens, except the children of foreign diplomats. In pursuing victory, Lincoln assumed extralegal powers over the press, declared martial law in areas where no military action justified it, quelled draft riots with armed soldiers, and drafted soldiers to fight for the Union cause
The difficulty this posed was that, over time and distance, banks closed or suffered losses while their paper continued to circulate, creating enormous questions at every point of sale about the reliability of the paper currency being offered in exchange. If we were to chart the overall numbers, they would look like this: Taken purely by themselves, these numbers would indeed seem to suggest that the Lincoln Administration had become the original governmental big spenders; but bear in mind that there was a war in progress, and wars are pricey for nations to wage
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America, by Allen C. Guelzo
Given what Lincoln wrote in the Proclamation and what he said in the July and September cabinet meetings, Guelzo's claim that "Lincoln came to see the Proclamation as the only alternative God had left to emancipation being swept off the table entirely" seems an unwarranted assertion of a faith-based inspiration for emancipation (7). Lincoln, Welles reported, "remarked that he had made a vow, a covenant, that if God gave us the victory in the approaching battle, he would consider it an indication of Divine will, and that it was his duty to move forward in the cause of emancipation
Military historians tend to treat McClellan as a first rate organizer, equipper, and trainer, but an incompetent general who was constantly outfought and outgeneraled by his Confederate counterpart, Robert E. The outbreak of war derailed the original version of his grand scheme, but even after the war began, Lincoln believed that if he could convince the legislatures of the loyal slave states to agree to compensated emancipation, he could end the rebellion, restore the Union, and begin the end of slavery
