Honest Abe

In Lincoln?s letters to Mary S. Owens it seems as if he is writing letters to a woman

. . .
This issue can be seen in articles, such as, the speech on the Kansas-Nebraska act at Peoria, Illinois, the speech on the Dred Scott Decision at Springfield, Illinois, and the first inaugural address. Lincoln basically goes onto say that if elected he will be governed by the people that helped him to get elected.

Next is the issue of slavery brought up in Lincoln?s first inaugural address and not only the issue of slavery was brought up, but also the issue of the uneasy tension between the North and the South. He did everything with the utmost grace and ease. I believe that the basic gesture of this address is that there is an issue of morally good and morally bad actions and the when the latter strikes in accord is when the government should step in to stop it. These are important because it shows his first political standpoint and view in his political subject. He made amazing speeches and believe this came from experience and from his background in the Bible and Literary works, such as Shakespeare. He did this because in an earlier article the reader asked the candidates to ?show their hands?.

The next issue comes into play during the address to the Young Men?s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois. In the letters he is telling Mary the happenings of Springfield, which is where he is at and is telling her that if she wants to come there then she can but says that she would not be satisfied because she would not be used to living in a back woods area like he is in. Also, in a letter to the editor of the Sangamo Journal he writes on why he is basically the best candidate and representative of the people.

In closing I believe that Lincoln was a very smart man when it came to being politician.
