Abraham Lincoln Mildred Meigs Remember he was poor and country-bred; His face was lined; he walked with awkward gait. Smart people laughed at him sometimes and said, “How can so very plain a man be great?” Remember he was humble, used to toil. Strong arms he had to build a shack, a fence, Long legs to tramp the woods, to plow the soil, A head chuck full of backwoods common sense. Remember all he ever had he earned, He walked in time through stately White House doors; But all he knew of men and life he learned In little backwoods cabins, country stores. Remember that his eyes could light with fun; That wisdom, courage, set his name apart; But when the rest is duly said and done, Remember that

    Goodwin’s writings explored the character and career of Abraham Lincoln through observances and interactions with the powerful men who competed with him for the role of president, then came to respect him for the knowledgeable, skilled leader that he was. Goodwin concluded that Lincoln’s self-confidence and integrity, his ability to share the glory for good decisions and communicate openly with those who look upon him with jealousy, enabled him to work with some of the most educated men, win their trust, and lead the country through a turbulent time in history as only a…

    As the fifth president of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln appears extremely credible, and is seen as a reliable source of information. Lincoln uses ethos with in his speech to express the credibility that he truly disserves. When Lincoln recites that, "The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all", he lets the audience know that he has faith within the United States military, and that they should as well. More ethos are also seen when Lincoln mentions that "While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, urgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation." Lincoln uses words like "altogether", and "saving…without war" to again express to his audience that he is hear to help mend the nation right along side the American people, and mend it not with war, but with peace. Finally Lincoln mentions yet more ethos when he says, "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, to bind up the nations wounds…" Lincoln uses words such as "us", and "for all" to express togetherness, focusing on…

    Abraham Lincoln was considered by many American’s as one of the greatest Presidents of the United States. Having come from humble beginnings it could be said that Abraham Lincoln rose up to meet all the challenges that would greet him, and it could be argued that at the time the only person who could successfully guide the United States through the Civil War was Abraham Lincoln. At the time of his presidency, the United States was falling apart, with the South trying to secede from the North, creating much chaos that Lincoln had to deal with. He worked slowly and throughly, which sometimes got people agitated but he was a very careful working man and knew that it was better if he took his time. Abraham Lincoln was not only the sixteenth President of the United States, he was also the man who helped bring the Union back together and helped abolish slavery.…

    Abraham Lincoln started out in life as a log-splitter in Springfield, Illinois, blossomed into one of America’s greatest president, and had his life ended too early in the President’s Box of Fords Theatre. His Gettysburg Address demonstrates why we now see him as that great man—he did not antagonize, nor did he show disrespect to the dead, even those who fought for the Confederacy. He treated them all as people of one country, and honored them all equally. Lincoln’s respect for every man living, fighting and dying in the war gave the Gettysburg Address its lasting power. Using primarily pathos and ethos in his speech, Lincoln gave hope not only to his grief-stricken audience but to an entire nation torn apart by war.…

    Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, is in a tough position. America has been engulfed in war for four years and he has been re-elected president. In his second inaugural address, Lincoln expresses a desire to finally end the civil war in order to reunite the country. To accomplish this, he uses several unique stylistic elements in his address such as effective use of repetition, a religious tone, and comprehensible figurative language.…

    There is a saying that states, "If thirty people are gathered to describe one object or thing, you will then have thirty different descriptions"; this is never more evident then within history. Depending on who is interpreting an event in history, there can be many angles and approaches taken to a single event or person. This notion of biases in interpretation depending on the storyteller is evident in the different elucidations of Abraham Lincoln's life by authors Joshua Shenk and Doris Goodwin. Primary sources are only used as a guidance tool in helping decipher events or people in time. Authors or historians such as Shenk and Goodwin utilize the same primary source documents of letters, journals, photos etc. or read similar secondary source biographies by fellow historians and yet both are able to come out with differing views. In Goodwin's Team of Rivals and Shenk's Lincoln's Melancholy there are several different focuses and interpretations on Abraham Lincoln's life that can lead individuals to two very different conclusions on what type of person Abraham Lincoln was. In this following essay I will distinguish these differences between the two biographies in their approach to telling the story of Abraham Lincoln focusing on the different anecdotes used and how it emphasizes their personal annotations.…

    Now, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address, I wish to use this occasion as an opportunity to call attention once again to what our 16th President reminded us almost 140 years ago. William Safire tells us that Lincoln's "sermon at Gettysburg reminds us, the living, of our unfinished work and the great tasks remaining before us - to resolve that this generation's response to the deaths of thousands of our people leads to a new birth of freedom."…

    His cousin Dennis said, “Seems to me now I never seen Abe after he was that he didn’t have a book in his hand or in his pocket (Fleming, 7). Because of his constant reading, Abe’s father would get angry with him, calling his ‘lazy’, since he thought he was trying to escape from work. During the times that Lincoln did have the opportunity to attend school, he would spend his recess time reading books. This made his head so full of knowledge that he acted as his friends’ leader. Little did he know that one day he would become their…

    Abraham Lincoln's Tale

    The greatest president in America’s history, Lincoln’s tale is more than just a tale of a President, it is a tale of hard work, achieving dreams, fighting for what is right and righteous, an inspiring tale of a self-educated, and it is a tale of a boy born to humble birth in a frontier cabin who became that great iconic paradigm for all presidents, Lincoln redefined the role of the U.S. President as Commander-in-Chief, different than any of his predecessors. Lincoln’s time witnessed a multitude of events. The Civil War that threatened to tear apart the unity of the United State, Lincoln had to face a war that evolved in the first modern total war, from a rather simpler Western warfare, without any military training or experience,…

    The young Lincoln was a child of induce curiosity, he loved to hear people, gave well crafted, well delivered speeches. He would often go to places where such speeches were being made; he memorized parts of them and he would come back and give those speeches to his playmates. It was in Lincoln 's nature to embrace new experiences and when he was nineteen he had the opportunity to travel 1200 miles down the Mississippi river. It was a journey that will change his outlook of life forever. He was confronted with the realities of slavery; what he did see was probably the most horrific aspect of slavery and that was the destruction of slave families, the selling of slaves and the use of slaves literally as pieces…
