Abraham Lincoln
by Treischel
Abraham Lincoln
(5-7-5 Suite) Lincoln, President divisive when elected Civil War erupts proclaimed, Honest Abe for backwoods integrity loved telling tall tales wore a stovepipe hat a thin beard under his chin memorable look with diversity assembled mixed cabinet "A Team of Rivals" shouldered war's burdens with melancholy resolve freed slaves from bondage blood on his conscience but determined to succeed held to the hard course expressed emotions on the famous battlefields Gettysburg Address preserved the Union at great personal expense assassinated |
Lincoln was a man of great personal courage and integrity.
I quoted "A Team of Rivals" in deference to the book by Doris Kearns.
