In giving the resolutions that earnest consideration which you request of me, I cannot overlook the fact that the meeting speak as Democrats. Nor can I, with full respect for their known intelligence and the fairly presumed deliberation with which they prepared their resolutions, be permitted to suppose that this occurred by accident, or in any way other than that they preferred to designate themselves Democrats rather than American citizens In this time of national peril I would have preferred to meet you upon a level one step higher than any party platform; because I am sure that from such more elevated position we could do better battle for the country we all love than we possibly can from those lower ones where, from the force of habit, the prejudices of the past, and selfish hopes of the future, we are sure to expend much of our ingenuity and strength in finding fault with and aiming blows at each other. Extract from President Lincoln sletter to Hon, Erastus Corning and others, June

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of nonfiction essays and observations largely concerned with the social and moral implications of the American Civil War on individuals, soldiers, and the nation as a whole. The author, who was actively involved in the war effort, provides a rare perspective on military hospitals, heroism, the role of religion in the conflict, and the bravery of those fighting for freedom. The foremost ideas presented in the work are the incredible sacrifices many Americans were willing to make for the cause of preserving the Union, and the ways in which the war served as a unique test of the nation's values and principles. The book's historical significance lies in its documentation of the deeply personal experiences, both tragic and inspiring, of ordinary men and women who fought to define the true meaning of freedom and democracy in America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
