abe lincoln

Abraham Lincoln inherited the greatest crisis of any president. His surpassed his expectations by preserving the republic and also abolished the barbarous institution of slavery forever. Perhaps one of the most active presidents due to his circumstances, Lincoln proved he had the intellectual, political, and moral responsibility to uphold the integrity of the United States President. Abraham Lincoln expanded the executive powers of the president in proportion to the crisis he faced. He exploited his power to transform his moral ideas into legislation. He outperformed his confederate counterpart, Jefferson Davis and always was conscience of the public eye. He was a well-balanced human being, and a president. Abraham Lincoln will always be one of America’s finest presidents.

The election of 1860 reflected the increasingly bitter and sectional conflict between Northerners and Southerners. Lincoln emerged from a new political party, the Republicans. His party elected him because his only real competitor was William Seward, governor of New York and he was viewed as too radical on the issues of slavery.

Grant's strategy was simply to send all his men into battle at once, never letting them rest until victory prevailed. He called for reconciliation with strong pledge to union.

That he also gained fame as the Great Emancipator was due to a large degree to his excellent sense of timing and his open-mindedness. McClellan constructed a powerful and well-trained army that far outnumbered that of his opponents; he refused to take the offensive, claiming that he was not yet fully prepared. These gestures reflected Lincoln’s earlier willingness to compromise.

The Confederate States of America named Jefferson Davis as their president. He appointed George McClellan as the head of his army and called for the conscription of 100,000 soldiers under three year terms.

The crisis with in Lincoln’s family was also contributing to Lincoln’s uneasiness. He inspired such dedication among his troops that even when he failed to produce victory, they remained dedicated to him and fiercely opposed to any attempt by Lincoln to replace him.

The South gets anxious, South Carolina leading the pack.
