ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BIRTHDAY
The 119th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth
on February 12 recalls afresh the greatness of our first
martyred president, whose memory is revered by North
and South alike, even as that of the peerless Southern
chieftain, Robert E. Lee.
While it is futile to speculate concerning what might
have been, it is safe to say that had Lincoln been perm it­
ted to live until the end of his second term, much of the
bitterness engendered during reconstruction days would
have been avoided. His attitude throughout the Civil
W ar wan summed up in one single phrase of his second
inaugural address: “ With malice toward none; with char­
ity for all.”
Lincoln was opposed to slavery on principle, but his
plan was to abolish it gradually, and compensate slave­
owners as slaves were set free. He proposed such a plan
as early as 1849 when a congressman, and renewed the
proposal as president in 1862, after the war had been in
progress nearly a year. Congress passed a resolution of­
fering the plan, but without result except in the district
of Columbia.
Throughout the w ar Lincoln’s chief aim was to pre­
serve the Union intact, the slavery question being second­
ary in his mind, as was evidenced by his famous reply to
Horace Greeley wherein he sa id :
“ My param ount object is to save the Union, and not
either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Un­
ion without freeing any slave, I would do it; if I could
save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and, if I
could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I
would also do that.”
Now, after more than sixty-five years, there are few
in any part of the United States who will not concede that
a united nation without slavery is best. It is well for
America and the world that on February 12, 1809, such a
man as Abraham Lincoln was born.
