Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great Epochs in American History, Vol. 8 of 10: Described by Famous Writers From Columbus to Roosevelt (The Election of Lincoln and the Civil War) The election of Lincoln was a triumph for many political elements which, before his ascendency, had been groping blindly toward similar ends - some of these old-time Whigs, others new-time Abolitionists, some Free Soil men, others Union Democrats, still others Anti-Nebraska men; but all eager for the salvation of the Union and now marching under a common banner as Republicans. For the Union cause there was a great majority in the Electoral College; it marked a general uprising, for that cause, and was tempered only by Lincoln´s failure to secure a popular majority. He was nearly a million short of a majority over all. To the Southern States Lincoln´s election came with the force of an appalling calamity. No longer did their leaders see any peaceable legislative way out of the country´s wearisome intestinal strife. All the forces with which they had ever contended were now united against them, and victorious in their unity.
