Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lincoln and Liquor At the opening of the nineteenth century Napoleon Bonaparte was the commanding figure of the world. The hero of the new century is Abraham Lincoln. While identified with the Civil War as commanderin-chief of the victorious armies, no man ever suffered more than he on account of that terrible conflict. In vivid contrast with the famed Corsican, he was ever in great-hearted, tender sympathy with human suffering and misfortune. He lacked utterly that traditional ambition of other rulers of men which gratifies self-seeking interests even at the cost of suffering and death to their fellow-men. Lincoln´s soul revolted at war, yet he realized that, as things were, war must be; and he it was who, in the face of cries for peace at any price, said: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in." It was to be expected that men would try to conjure with the great name of Lincoln. He has been claimed as a follower even by atheists and spiritualists. Those who favor liquor-drinking and liquor-selling have made special efforts to identify him with their cause.
