Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Memorial Address Delivered at the Lincoln, Centennial Celebration of the Jewish, Theological Seminary of America Alexander H. Stephens, in his characterization of Lincoln, says, "The Union with him in sentiment rose to the sublimity of a religious mysticism; whilst his ideas of its structure and formation in logic rested upon nothing but the subtleties of a sophism." Stephens was, by agreement of all, the ablest historian of the Confederacy, and, some think, its greatest man; Lincoln and those who read his argument for the Union contained ant in his address given at Milledgeville, Georgia, before the Stephens War between the States began, will further admit that he had the gift of seeing below the surface of things, for the condition of affairs as seen then by superficial observers was all in favor of secession. Stephens was also one of the few prominent men of the Thirtieth Congress for whom Lincoln conceived great admiration during his first appearance at Washington in the capacity of a member of the House of Representatives. Lincoln was present when Stephens delivered "the best speech of an hour´s length" he had ever heard, which moved him so deeply that his "old, withered eyes were full of tears." At a later date, again, when Lincoln stood before the country as the President-elect, Stephens was, perhaps, the only Southern statesman whose opinion Lincoln solicited in reference to the coming struggle.
