Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the effectiveness of Abraham Lincoln's presidency and his interactions with Congress during the Civil War. The author explores how Lincoln steered the nation rather moderately over the conflict and presents his views on the South's secession and slavery.From the Paper:
"The Republican Party emerged from the ashes of the Whig Party and the confused flurry of new political parties attempting to fill the void of an alternative political party to the Democrats during the 1850s. In its formation the Republican Party absorbed many former members of other political parties, especially Whigs, Free-Soilers, Know-Nothings, and Northern Democrats, which resulted in the creation of a broad party platform."More papers on Lincoln and Congress:
