  • “Lincoln Bibles”?
    How Many “Lincoln Bibles”? GORDON LEIDNER In a 1940 edition of Lincoln Lore, editor and historian Dr. Louis A. War- ren stated that “no book could be more appropriately associated with Abraham Lincoln than the Bible,” and he briefly introduced his read- ers to nine “Historic Lincoln Bibles” that he thought should be linked with the sixteenth president.1 Eleven years later, Robert S. Barton, son of the Lincoln biographer Rev. William E. Barton, published a paper titled “How Many Lincoln Bibles?”2 In it, Barton updated the status of Warren’s nine historic Lincoln Bibles, then added three Bibles he thought should also be associated with the 16th president. This list of a dozen Lincoln Bibles has not been critiqued or updated since that time, 1951. But a few significant discoveries, particularly in the past decade, justify a fresh look at this subject. In this article I update the status of the twelve previously identified historic Lincoln Bibles, discuss which Bibles Lincoln used while presi- dent, and introduce four previously unidentified Bibles that should be added to this list. One of these “new” Bibles may have been used by Lincoln’s mother to teach him how to read when he was a child, and another was probably read by Lincoln when he was president. These sixteen Bibles are shown in the table. The first twelve are presented in the order that Warren and Barton discussed them. In Lincoln Lore, Warren wrote that the Bible was “the single most influential book that Abraham Lincoln read.”3 An extensive study of Lincoln’s use of the Bible is beyond the scope of this article, but suffice it to say that Lincoln utilized the Scriptures extensively to support his ethical and political statements.

    Sitting in Military Park, at the heart of Newark’s downtown revival, Gutzon Borglum’s 1926 “Wars of America” monumental bronze is far more subtle than its massive size suggests, and possessing of a fascinating and complicated history few who pass by it each day are aware of. hat does Mount Rushmore, the Washington quarter, W and New York's famed Trinity Church Astor Doors all have in common? Gordon Bond All were created by sculptors who also have celebrated works in Newark, New Jersey. When people hear "Newark," they almost gardenstatelegacy.com/Monumental_Newark.html certainly don't think of a city full of monuments, memorials, and statuary by world renowned sculptors. Yet it is home to some forty-five public monuments reflecting a surprising artistic and cultural heritage—and an underappreciated resource for improving the City's image. With recent investment in Newark's revitalization, public spaces and the art within them take on an important role in creating a desirable environment.

  • Didn't Sleep Here. Abraham Lincoln Passed Through New Jersey Just
    Abraham Lincoln passed through New Jersey just three times, but... Lincolndidn’t sleep here. by Gordon Bond t is ironic perhaps that the majority of those who have held the highest office in the land are, by and large, forgotten in popular I American culture. Administrations tend to have a shelf-life roughly limited to a generation. Times change and the immediacy of new events naturally shove what was once important into the realm of historians. It is, of course, true that a few have managed to survive the fate of a James K. Polk or a Franklin Pierce. John F. Kennedy, cut down in his prime by an assassin’s bullet, remains strong in the collective national memory. Richard M. Nixon will be remembered, for better or worse, for the Watergate scandal that drove him from office. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s tenure during the latter days of the Great Depression and most of the Second World War secure him popular recognition. Some conservatives today regard Ronald Reagan with similar reverence, and Barrack Obama will forever be known as the nation’s first African- Abraham American president. The passage of time, of course, will be the final arbiter in how embedded these men remain or become in the national Lincoln has a sense of self. Presidential historians can well-argue their cases as to why this lot going for president was more significant than that. But two in particular reign above all the rest as secular gods in the popular pantheon of the Republic—George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. It’s easy to him in terms understand Washington’s preeminence.

  • Reviewing the Civil War and Reconstruction Center for Legislative Archives
    Reviewing the Civil War and Reconstruction Center for Legislative Archives Address of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society NAID 306639 From 1830 on, women organized politically to reform American society. The leading moral cause was abolishing slavery. “Sisters and Friends: As immortal souls, created by God to know and love him with all our hearts, and our neighbor as ourselves, we owe immediate obedience to his commands respecting the sinful system of Slavery, beneath which 2,500,000 of our Fellow-Immortals, children of the same country, are crushed, soul and body, in the extremity of degradation and agony.” July 13, 1836 The Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society was founded in 1832 as a female auxiliary to male abolition societies. The society created elaborate networks to print, distribute, and mail petitions against slavery. In conjunction with other female societies in major northern cities, they brought women to the forefront of politics. In 1836, an estimated 33,000 New England women signed petitions against the slave trade in the District of Columbia. The society declared this campaign an enormous success and vowed to leave, “no energy unemployed, no righteous means untried” in their ongoing fight to abolish slavery. www.archives.gov/legislative/resources Reviewing the Civil War and Reconstruction Center for Legislative Archives Judgment in the U.S. Supreme Court Case Dred Scott v. John F. A. Sanford NAID 301674 In 1857 the Supreme Court ruled that Americans of African ancestry had no constitutional rights. “The question is simply this: Can a Negro whose ancestors were imported into this country, and sold as slaves, become a member of the political community formed and brought into existence by the Constitution of the United States, and as such, become entitled to all the rights and privileges and immunities guaranteed to the citizen?..

  • Chapter 11: the Civil War, 1861-1865
    The Civil War 1861–1865 Why It Matters The Civil War was a milestone in American history. The four-year-long struggle determined the nation’s future. With the North’s victory, slavery was abolished. During the war, the Northern economy grew stronger, while the Southern economy stagnated. Military innovations, including the expanded use of railroads and the telegraph, coupled with a general conscription, made the Civil War the first “modern” war. The Impact Today The outcome of this bloody war permanently changed the nation. • The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery. • The power of the federal government was strengthened. The American Vision Video The Chapter 11 video, “Lincoln and the Civil War,” describes the hardships and struggles that Abraham Lincoln experienced as he led the nation in this time of crisis. 1862 • Confederate loss at Battle of Antietam 1861 halts Lee’s first invasion of the North • Fort Sumter fired upon 1863 • First Battle of Bull Run • Lincoln presents Emancipation Proclamation 1859 • Battle of Gettysburg • John Brown leads raid on federal ▲ arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia Lincoln ▲ 1861–1865 ▲ ▲ 1859 1861 1863 ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ 1861 1862 1863 • Russian serfs • Source of the Nile River • French troops 1859 emancipated by confirmed by John Hanning occupy Mexico • Work on the Suez Czar Alexander II Speke and James A.
