The Portable Abraham Lincoln by Abraham Lincoln

The Portable Abraham Lincoln by Abraham Lincoln

As President, Abraham Lincoln endowed the American language with a vigour and moral energy that have all but disappeared from today's rhetoric. Lincoln's writings are testaments to our history, as well as windows into his enigmatic personality. This book contains Lincoln's speeches along with less familiar letters, charting Lincoln's political career, his stand against slavery and the day-to-day running of the Civil War. The book also includes an introduction, detailed chapter notes and a chronology of Lincoln's life.

Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States, serving from 1809 to 1865. He led the United States through the Civil War, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and pushed for the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution to be passed. Slavery was abolished thanks to the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
