"Lincoln’s agenda.

1.Establishment of a national bank
2.An internal improvements system
3.A high protective tariff.

Lincoln’s purpose was not to free slaves or even save the union but to create national banks, bankrupt laws, a vast and permanent public debt, high tariffs, heavy direct taxation, enormous expenditures, gigantic and stupendous speculation…and strong government…no more State lines, no more State governments, and consolidated monarchy or vast centralized military despotism"

The world has been fascinated with Abraham Lincoln for over a century. No doubt this is primarily a result of his leadership during the Civil War--the greatest crisis in American history. This war, which threatened to tear the Union in two, could have been the beginning of the end of democratic government on Earth. But Lincoln, the small-town country lawyer from America’s heartland, stepped forward to not only save the nation, but to also accomplish what no one else had been able to do--abolish slavery.

Today, we esteem Lincoln as a leader of faith, integrity, and determination. We recognize him as one who fought his way up to the highest office of the land—and did so without the benefit of wealth or formal education. We value his state papers, speeches, and letters as eloquent testimony of statesmanship and noble character. For decades since Lincoln’s death, people have acknowledged that his life is an excellent example of what determination, faith, and industry can accomplish in America.

Purpose:

The purpose of this lesson is twofold: 1) learn basic information about Abraham Lincoln’s life, and 2) read what he said and wrote about democracy, faith in God, and freedom. These objectives will be accomplished by reading a short biography (30 pages) of Lincoln and then reading selected excerpts of some of his most famous speeches, state papers, and letters. Although all of the material is contained in one book, Lincoln on God and Country by Gordon Leidner, (156 pages, White Mane Publishers, Shippensburg, PA, available August 2000); supplemental material that can be accessed on the Internet is also documented for those educators that want to provide students with additional information.

Objectives:

The students will be able to:

Understand the basic facts of Lincoln’s life and how his life’s experiences influenced his faith in God and his beliefs about freedom and democracy.
Understand how Lincoln became a great leader in spite of the disadvantages of poverty and lack of a formal public education.
Understand the meaning and intentions of some of Lincoln’s most famous speeches, state papers, and letters.
Understand how Lincoln’s religious beliefs and outlook on freedom changed as he matured.
Activities:

Students will read the short biography and selected speeches writings of Lincoln in order to become acquainted with his life and beliefs. They will answer questions on the reading assignments.
Students will write letters to Lincoln, asking him questions and expressing their own opinions about various subjects. They will write articles about him, acting as if they are newspaper reporters that are describing the events of Lincoln’s life.
Students will use the Internet to visit places that Lincoln lived and sites that help them develop a better appreciation for Lincoln’s world.
Students will use online resources such as greatamericanhistory.com’s "Outline of the Civil War" and abrahamlincoln.cc’s "Timeline of Lincoln’s Life," both with hotlinks, to find in-depth answers to questions about Lincoln and the issues that he faced.
