About this eBook

Author Lowell, James Russell, 1819-1891
Title Abraham Lincoln
Summary "Abraham Lincoln" by James Russell Lowell is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book offers a deep reflection on the presidency of Abraham Lincoln during the tumultuous period of the American Civil War. It examines Lincoln's leadership, political challenges, and the moral complexities of his decisions, particularly regarding slavery and national unity. In this work, Lowell portrays Lincoln not just as a political leader but also as a deeply principled and pragmatic statesman navigating an unprecedented crisis in American history. The text elucidates how Lincoln, amid public skepticism and personal resistance, held the nation together while confronting the moral implications of slavery and ensuring the survival of the Union. Lowell illustrates Lincoln's ability to engage with the public's sentiments and instill hope through careful discourse, highlighting his commitment to democratic ideals and ethical governance in a time of severe discord. The narrative serves both as a tribute to Lincoln's character and a reflection on the broader societal struggles of that era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
