Hardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. He comes to us in the mists of legend as a homespun "rail splitter" from the Illinois prairies, a saintly commoner who called himself "Abe, " spoke in a deep, fatherly voice, and cared little about material rewards and social station. He also come to us as Father Abraham, the Great Emancipator who led the North off to civil war to free the slaves and after the conflict ended offered the South a tender and forgiving hand. That is the Lincoln of mythology and the folk hero of the legend building histories, but it is not the Lincoln who actually lived. The real Lincoln was certainly honest and compassionate, with a deep commitment ot the right of all people to elevate themselves in a free society. But he was hardly the flawless immortal that legend claims. The real Lincoln was complex, paradoxical, and richly human, a self-made man who was proud of his professional achievements, substantially wealthy, morbidly fascinated with madness, obsessed with death, troubled with recurring bouts of melancholy, and gifted with a superb talent for literary expression. ail splitter" from the Illinois prairies, a saintly commoner who called himself "Abe, " spoke in a deep, fatherly voice, and cared little about material rewards and social station.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Unveiling the Truth: The Misconception of Radicals - Fighting for Positive Change or Destroying America A Deep Dive into Historical and Current Perspectives. This incisive book dissects the term radical and challenges the preconceived notions that often accompany it. The narrative delves into the stories of erstwhile and contemporary figures who have been labeled as 'radicals' by the establishment, the influential politicians, and the affluent few. These are individuals and groups who, throughout history, have sought to bring about significant, positive changes in the world and yet have been unfairly stigmatized.Unveiling the Truth paints a vivid picture of these so-called 'radicals, ' from abolitionists to suffragists, from union leaders to environmental activists. It highlights how the likes of Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, once considered radicals, are today seen as inspirations and embodiments of the American spirit. The book poses some soul-searching questions: Why is advocating for a cleaner future radical Why is the pursuit of equality considered radical Why is the display of compassion, dignity, and love seen as radical This thought-provoking exploration not only challenges the conventional understanding of what it means to be radical, but it also scrutinizes the very institutions that label these change-makers as such. It sheds light on how power dynamics and wealth can influence perspectives and shape narratives. The book prompts readers to question their own biases and invites them to engage in a broader dialogue about society, its structures, and the role of dissent in progress.Unveiling the Truth serves as a mirror held up to society, reflecting the uncomfortable truths that we often choose to ignore. It is a call to action for readers to reassess their understanding of what is truly radical, and to recognize the real radicals in our midst. This bold exploration does not merely seek to expose the misconceptions surrounding radicals; it also aims to inspire a movement towards change, justice, and equality. It is a must-read for those willing to challenge their worldview and embrace a more nuanced understanding of our history and our present.…
