Abraham Lincoln, democrat

Abraham Lincoln, Democrat is a historical book written by Frank Ilsley Paradise. The book explores the political ideology of Abraham Lincoln, who is often portrayed as a Republican. However, Paradise argues that Lincoln's political beliefs were actually more aligned with the Democratic Party of the time. The book takes a deep dive into Lincoln's life, from his early years in Illinois to his presidency during the Civil War. Paradise examines Lincoln's speeches, writings, and political actions to support his argument that Lincoln was, in fact, a Democrat. The book also provides a detailed look at the political climate of the mid-19th century, including the rise of the Republican Party and the tensions leading up to the Civil War. Paradise argues that Lincoln's decision to join the Republican Party was a strategic move to gain political power, rather than a reflection of his true beliefs. Overall, Abraham Lincoln, Democrat offers a unique perspective on one of America's most iconic figures and challenges traditional interpretations of Lincoln's political legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
