Описание: Interest in the American Civil War and the role of Abraham Lincoln has grown dramatically in the last decade. Leader of the anti-slavery Republican coalition and the wartime Union, he has become a model of a particular kind of democratic politician who led rather than followed. Richard J. Carwardine examines Lincoln's rise to power and his achievements as US president. The book explores the wider sources of Lincoln's authority and skills in embracing a broad range of elements within the Republican party. In particular, it looks at Lincoln's shrewd relationship with evangelical Protestantism. His ability to harness and channel the power of the Protestant constituency was key to his winning the presidency and rallying support behind his national and emancipatory vision.
Abraham Lincoln is often lauded as one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States of America. His involvement in the Civil War and the abolition of slavery have led to the reverence of his name.
Having deep family roots in the United States, traceable to colonial times, author Dr. W. Terry Hardgrave has a long-held family interest in the principles and preservation of constitutional republics. As a young adult, Dr. Hardgrave began to discover inconsistencies in the traditional historical narrative surrounding the Civil War. He found himself asking the following questions: How could President Lincoln promise to preserve the integrity of the States in his first Inaugural Address and invade Maryland less than two months later? If the war was about abolishing slavery, why was General Grant's wife a slave-holder during the war? If John Wilkes Booth was simply a pro-slavery Southern sympathizer, why did he yell, "Sic Semper Tyrannis," after shooting President Lincoln instead of "Slavery Forever" or "Dixie Forever" or something similar? If President Lincoln actually preserved the Union, why did the States have to be re-admitted to the Union during Reconstruction?
It is those inconsistencies that led Dr. Hardgrave on his quest for more detail and more realistic answers. Civil Coercion: The Constitutional Violations of the Lincoln Administration (1861-1865) is the result of his inquiries into the official records, accounts, speeches, and other publications. Through this book, Dr. Hardgrave hopes to prompt readers into their own research by providing them with facts, using a minimum of biased opinion, regarding the Constitutional violations of the Lincoln administration.

"A Hidden Indictment: What the Slaves and Freedmen Knew About the Lincoln Assassination," provides the reader with a brief history of the development of the country, including major civil war battles, and a new perspective about the facts and events leading up to and surrounding the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln as seen through the eyes and ears of Slaves and Freedmen. The book tells the story of an African-American enslaved woman (Mary Simms), who testified as one of the chief government prosecution witnesses against the Lincoln assassination conspirators. The author is believed to be a distant relative of Mary Simms.
"Frazer Walton revisits the Lincoln assassination conspiracy with a fresh look at the testimony of a slave whose ignored comments could have widened the investigation had she been listened to by authorities. Walton's book delves into the shadowy world of spies, double-dealers, and politicians during the American Civil War. Proving the theories he brings up may be impossible 150 years later, but his research into old records makes for interesting speculation." Clint Johnson, noted American Civil War author of eight books on the civil war, including his well-known book the "Pursuit."
"Frazer Walton has fashioned an inspirational book, a page turner that will leave the reader gasping and asking for more. He has resurrected hidden American history for our consideration. And he has done it in the form of a griping and trilling mystery that will hold you spell bound until the last page. It is a remarkable and complex story, as it tells the truth about the assassination and the facts surrounding it, a truth that for all these years has remained hidden." Mark Lane, was a famous trial attorney, New York state legislator, civil rights activist and author. He has written several New York Times Best sellers (Rush to Judgment and Plausible Denial) about the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy.

Описание: Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world`s greatest hero, but greatness won`t come easy.
Описание: Rediscover the forgotten story of how President Lincoln welcomed African Americans to his White House during America's most divided and war-torn era. Jonathan White illuminates why Lincoln's unprecedented welcoming of African American men and women to the White House transformed the trajectory of race relations in the United States. From his 1862 meetings with Black Christian ministers, Lincoln began inviting African Americans of every background into his home, from ex-slaves from the Deep South to champions of abolitionism such as Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. More than a good-will gesture, the president conferred with his guests about the essential issues of citizenship and voting rights. Drawing from an array of primary sources, White reveals how African Americans used the White House as a national stage to amplify their calls for equality. Even 155 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln's inclusion of African Americans remains a necessary example in a country still struggling from racial divisions today.

Описание: Exploring Lincoln's Evolving Views of Citizenship At its most basic level, citizenship is about who belongs to a political community, and for Abraham Lincoln in nineteenth-century America, the answer was in flux. The concept of 'fellow citizens,' for Lincoln, encompassed different groups at different times. In this first book focused on the topic, Mark E. Steiner analyzes and contextualizes Lincoln's evolving views about citizenship over the course of his political career. As an Illinois state legislator, Lincoln subscribed to the by-then-outmoded belief that suffrage must be limited to those who met certain obligations to the state. He rejected the adherence to universal white male suffrage that had existed in Illinois since statehood. In 1836 Lincoln called for voting rights to be limited to white people who had served in the militia or paid taxes. Surprisingly, Lincoln did not exclude women, though later he did not advocate giving women the right to vote and did not take women seriously as citizens. The women at his rallies, he believed, served as decoration. For years Lincoln presumed that only white men belonged in the political and civic community, and he saw immigration through this lens. Because Lincoln believed that white male European immigrants had a right to be part of the body politic, he opposed measures to lengthen the time they would have to wait to become a citizen or to be able to vote. Unlike many in the antebellum north, Lincoln rejected xenophobia and nativism. He opposed black citizenship, however, as he made clear in his debates with Stephen Douglas. Lincoln supported Illinois's draconian Black Laws, which prohibited free black men from voting and serving on juries or in the militia. Further, Lincoln supported sending free black Americans to Africa-the ultimate repudiation and an antithesis of citizenship. Yet, as president, Lincoln came to embrace a broader vision of citizenship for African Americans. Steiner establishes how Lincoln's meetings at the White House with Frederick Douglass and other black leaders influenced his beliefs about colonization, which he ultimately disavowed, and citizenship for African Americans, which he began to consider. Further, the battlefield success of black Union soldiers revealed to Lincoln that black men were worthy of citizenship. Lincoln publicly called for limited suffrage among black men, including military veterans, in his speech about Reconstruction on April 11, 1865. Ahead of most others of his era, Lincoln showed just before his assassination that he supported rights of citizenship for at least some African Americans.

Описание: This book reinterprets the causes of the American Civil War. Using Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas`s famed rivalry as a prism, Robert E. May shows that when Lincoln and fellow Republicans opposed slavery in the West, they did so partly because of evidence that slaveholders planned to make Cuba, Mexico, and Central America into new slave states.
