Short Story : Lincoln's War

The death of Abraham Lincoln is described very vividly: “...the sphere of Britannia metal poked a neat round hole in Lincoln’s skull and then pushed fragments of that bone deep into Lincoln’s brain as it traveled precisely seven and a half inches before plowing to a stop in the dense gray matter.” (page 208). After the arrests of the other co-conspirators like Azterodt and Powell, detective Lafayette Baker attempts to hunt down John Wilkes Booth and David Herold who are hiding out in a swamp in Maryland. Eventually, the two conspirators are found in a barn in Virginia and John Wilkes Booth is shot and killed as the barn burned to the ground. Finally, the assassin of the killer of Abraham Lincoln is killed in the same manner as the president.

Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, published an open letter to Lincoln about not mentioning the emancipation of slavery during the start of the war. Lincoln replies by saying that he is trying to unify the nation as quickly as possible under the constitution. Lincoln doesn’t agree with the people that thinks abolishing slavery as a whole isn’t necessary for saving the nation. Lincoln states that if he could, he would avoid abolishing slavery but he feels that it is utterly necessary in order to save the nation. He will always do what is best for the United States and will do less of whatever hurts the nation and do more of whatever helps the nation. In Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, he refers to how just eighty years ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation and declared that all men were created equal. Yet, eighty years later, the nation is divided into two and are engaged into a deep civil war.

Before the Emancipation Proclamation was passed, the Civil War had been going on for two years. UNION VICTORIES The Emancipation Proclamation was signed on September 22, 1862, but it did not take effect until January 1, 1863 (Emancipation Proclamation 1863). This took place during the Civil War, which was fought between the Union States and the Confederate States of America. The Emancipation Proclamation did not free the slaves, because it only applied to the areas that the Union had no power in. It did not apply to the Southern area that the Union already had taken control of or occupied. It also did not apply to the slave states that were already a part of the Union or the border states. It applied only to the areas that were under the control of the Confederate States. The Union Army had no control there, so they could not enforce it (CORNALE NOTES). The Emancipation Proclamation had a small impact practically, but had a larger symbolic effect, and led to the Thirteenth Amendment following the victory of the Union in 1865 (Emancipation Proclamation 1863). EMCANIPATOR DEFINTIYON Lincoln should not be known the “Great Emancipator.”

Abraham Lincoln, the great president of the United States, is one of the most influential men in the history of America. He is not only the commander-in-chief of the Union army that takes the victory from the Confederacy in the Civil War but also a leader who ends up the existence of slavery and a hero of the United States of America.

He is a real genius and the great leadership of the Southern which help them to fight for the Northern.

The Civil War was the worst crisis in American history, pitting two sides of a split nation against one another in bloody battles that persisted for four exhausting years. It was a war that neither side claimed to want, and that neither side claimed to start. Although popular belief places the blame with the South because they fired the first shot, there is considerable evidence that Lincoln, realizing war was inevitable, coerced the South into firing that first fateful shot.

Lincoln's Assassination. What can you say about it? Do you know much about it? If not, I'm here to tell you all about it! Here's how it goes... On April 14th, 1865, Abraham Lincoln arrived at Ford's Theatre with his wife Mary, army soldier Henry Rathbone, and Rathbone's fiancé, Clara Harris. They had arrived late to the production "Our American Cousin". At 10:15pm, John Wilkes Booth slipped into the Presidential Box and shot Lincoln's head with a .44 caliber single shot derringer. Booth jumped onto the stage and yelled "Thus ever to tyrants!". As people rushed to Lincoln's side, he was found paralyzed and having trouble breathing. Soldiers carried Lincoln to William Peterson's house and laid him on a bed. When the general surgeon arrived,

Shortly after the dust had died down, the result was clear: the Union had declared victory and saved the space-time continuum. The Doctor, Nigel, and the rest of the Union successfully fought off the Confederates and was able to save the world from being blown to pieces by the dreaded SuperStorm.

Lincoln tries to explain

The Civil War was a war between the union, and confederate states in the United States that occurred from 1861-1865. Many people believed that the Civil War was about slavery and southern states right to defend their states’ rights. The confederates were fighting for their liberty and independence under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, who they felt was a tyrant. However, the union, was fighting to preserve their territory, that was created by their founding fathers from chaos and dismemberment. President Jefferson Davis believed that the civil war was based on the confederate rights to secede from the union. Jefferson also felt that Abraham Lincoln was to blamed for the start of the civil war, since he was against slavery. Lincoln’s intended goal was to preserve the union, he claimed slavery was not the reason. “If I could save the union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all slaves I would do it, and if I could slave it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that (Shi &Tindall, 2015, pg.465)”. Lincoln told everyone that if the southern states were to return to the union that slavery would still exist. However, many people believed that Lincoln wasn’t being truthful.
