The jewel of liberty

Abraham Lincoln's re-election and the end of slavery

1st ed.
  • 1 Want to read

This provocative book, nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, marks a milestone in Civil War and Lincoln history. Dr. David E. Long, a professor of law and history, is the first to investigate deeply the events of 1864 that eventually produced Lincoln's re-election and, with it, the emancipation of the slaves. In so doing, the author illuminates and dramatizes a moment in which the fate of democracy itself was in the balance. Never in our past has the nature and future of the nation depended so much on the ballot box, for within that box truly lay The Jewel of Liberty. - Back cover.

Book Details


Table of Contents

In giving freedom to the slave
We assure freedom to the free
And the niggers where they are
You say you will not fight to free Negroes
Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy?
With malice toward none, with charity for all
We shall nobly save or meanly lose
With malignant heart and deceitful speech
I am aware that the subject creates prejudice
And the promise being made, must be kept
The fiery trial through which we pass
The brave men, living and dead
I want to finish this job
Of the people, by the people, for the people
Shall not perish from the earth
Appendixes.
McClellan's acceptance letter
The Republican platform resolves
The Democratic platform resolves
Results of the presidential election of November 8, 1864
