ABRAHAM LINCOLN - CIVIL WAR PRESIDENT
|
|
|
|
Abraham Lincoln was assuredly one of the greatest presidents in
|
|
American history. This is demonstrated by his effective administration
|
|
during the Civil War, the creation of policies that benefited everyone in
|
|
the United States and the efforts that kept the United States from
|
|
splintering during the Civil War and from its aftermath.
|
|
|
|
Lincoln made excellent decisions in the Civil War. He guided his
|
|
nation from being torn apart by conflict. He reacted quickly when the War
|
|
was suddenly sprung upon him. His blockade of the southern ports weakened
|
|
the south by stopping its income from trade and his immediate expansion of
|
|
the Union Army gave the north a powerful battalion to combat the
|
|
Confederacy. Some of his actions were controversial, such as suspension of
|
|
habeas corpus (the right to protest unlawful imprisonment of a person and
|
|
take it to court) for certain Confederate supporters who were too loud in
|
|
their support, but it prevented unrest when unity was needed to fight the
|
|
Confederacy. Lincoln appointed generals that, though not always
|
|
successful, were competent, including the famed Ulysses S. Grant. Lincoln
|
|
kept national unity, moderating his own views of slavery to keep the border
|
|
states of Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware and Maryland. He managed to stop
|
|
and European nations from interfering with his foreign diplomacy and his
|
|
speeches, such as the famed Gettysburg address, held the peoples's support
|
|
to him and the Union.
|
|
|
|
During the Civil War, all was not concentrated on the battle on the
|
|
field. Life did go on, however nervously, and out of this period arose
|
|
several beneficial policies of Lincoln's. These policies aided towards the
|
|
peaceful and prosperous nation in the United States today. Economically,
|
|
the policies Lincoln created were ideal. The first federally controlled
|
|
paper money was issued in 1861, establishing a secure standard of money,
|
|
one not threatened by failure in any way. To the settlers were granted 65
|
|
hectares of public land by the Homestead Act, free of charge, beginning in
|
|
1862, enhancing the growth of the United States and bringing more people to
|
|
create a thriving population. President Lincoln's policies also promoted
|
|
national unity and communication. The transcontinental telegraph, first of
|
|
its kind, was completed in 1861. It connected all of eastern United States
|
|
with California and allowed a speedy way of communicating across a country.
|
|
Free mail delivery in the cities of the United States was allowed in 1863,
|
|
promoting communication between the people. Finally, there was the
|
|
Emancipation Proclamation on the first day of the year 1863. It released
|
|
all the slaves in the states that were still in rebellion. Though it did
|
|
not have much real effect at the time, it pointed a way to a brighter
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
President Abraham Lincoln handled the end of the war admirably. He
|
|
put the nation back together and did not punish the south as wanted by
|
|
some. His plan of reconstruction was accepted and the slaves were all
|
|
freed, showing the rest of the world a virtuous country. He admitted that
|
|
his reconstruction was not perfect, but convinced his people to accept it
|
|
and work on it over letting their sister states leave and banishing the
|
|
hope of a unified nation forever. Even his assassination did some good,
|
|
for it brought the nation even closer. Lincoln's critics praised him and
|
|
the people had their ideals matched to "Father Abe". The Americans were
|
|
sorrowful of the death of their great president and in them arose a
|
|
devotion to the United States envisioned by Abraham Lincoln.
|
|
|
|
President Abraham Lincoln was truly one of the greatest US Presidents
|
|
ever to live. His skill in leading his nation earned him a worthy
|
|
reputation as a man of integrity and virtue. He sacrificed his sleep,
|
|
peace of mind and much of his happiness to see the United States through.
|
|
His humble background only made him more of a representation of the
|
|
possibilities of the United States and increased his popularity with the
|
|
people of the Unites States, driving toward a greater nation. President
|
|
Abraham Lincoln, with all his skill, led the United States through one of
|
|
the most difficult times in United States history, and not only bringing
|
|
survival to the nation but created an even better place, improving the
|
|
Constitution and starting the United States on its road to greatness. His
|
|
valour in the cause of his nation earned him a place in the heart of the
|
|
Americans, as the beloved Father Abe.
