    Summer Reading Book Review: The Radical And The Republican

    The narration by James Oakes starts in the mid 1850’s in the American North (The Union) but specifically in the Illinois state. Here Abraham Lincoln was running for the Illinois Senate against a rival ironically named Stephen Douglas. He gets elected into the senate and in the early 1860’s Lincoln is inaugurated as the President. At the time, Frederick Douglas, a former slave living in the North, was a slave- abolitionist and close to a radical although he hated politics. So in the 1860’s, President Lincoln (under the Republican Party) began pushing towards the emancipation of slavery in the south. He argued that slaves were human too, that God did not justify it, and the Founding Fathers did not approve of it when they wrote the Constitution. Despite of the opposition down south, the north…

    Abraham Lincoln's Political and Moral Slavery Dilemma

    The sixteenth President of the United States of America, the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln casts quite a historical shadow over any other competing figure. Lincoln was brought into the world on February 12th, 1809 to an incredibly modest upbringing in which he would mold himself into a successful lawyer and later a politician. Abraham received little formal education during his childhood, eventually acquainting himself with the law through the apprenticeship system. After rising through the Illinois legislature structure, Lincoln went on to serve in the House of Representatives on behalf of the state of Illinois before gaining widespread recognition from his debates with competing Senate candidate Stephen A. Douglas in 1858.The expansion of slavery into the United States new territories was the hotly contested issue of these debates, Lincoln’s stance would eventually propel him into the national spotlight and later the Presidency. Abraham Lincoln’s views on slavery were split between his political obligations and his moral beliefs, his political actions were influenced by his desire to preserve the Union, and his moral stance on the issue largely stemmed from his deep-seeded belief in the power of the Constitution, not the political or social equality of another race.…

    Tools of Persuasion in Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

    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.…

    Response to the Gettysburg Address

    In Abraham Lincoln’s speech entitled “The Gettysburg Address” there are a lot of different modes of persuasions going on. After reading it a few times I came to the conclusion that Lincoln did not just address this letter to the present, he addressed it to the future also. Even in between the time the letter was addressed to this very day the letter still holds an important message in American history and literature. Even though the “The Gettysburg Address” has brought me to the pathos mode of persuasion because some of the things that Abraham talks about in the address, we strive as a nation to continue to better and build off of as a country.…
