Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Address Delivered in the Armory of the 7th Regiment, N. G. N. Y., On Friday, February 12, 1909 In attempting, on the one hundredth anniversary of his birth, to deal with the character of Abraham Lincoln we shall do well to consider its inherent simplicity convinced that, in this old-fashioned quality, we shall discover power for dealing with great problems, which, though they seemed complex, were in reality plain and singleminded. As we study the times through which he passed, nothing is clearer than the fact that, do what our predecessors upon this scene would: people a continent, clear the forests, break the prairies, settle the waste places, lay the foundations for material growth and prosperity, develop their industries, establish their schools, build their churches - they were, after all, restricted in their public thought to one question. There was one thorn in the political flesh, and it produced a sense of pain which was never lost, nor even lulled for a moment. Whether moral or economic, or both, it is not now necessary either to discuss or to settle, but it was never out of the thought of any order of our people in any State or Territory of the Union. That it was there was universally recognized, and that its removal was desirable was nowhere doubted, but the method of doing this, or that the patient could stand it, however done, were questions upon which it is doubtful whether many men within our borders would have agreed. When the importance of this great operation is considered, it is not surprising that there should have sprung up around the career of Lincoln - legend, myth and story, which tend to obscure the true, the real, man.
