To fully understand and appreciate Abraham Lincolns legacy, it is important to examine the society that influenced the life, character, and leadership of the man who would become the Great Emancipator. Editors Joseph R. Fornieri and Sara Vaughn Gabbard have done just that in Lincolns America: 18091865, a collection of original essays by ten eminent historians that place Lincoln within his nineteenthcentury cultural context.Among the topics explored in Lincolns America are religion, education, middleclass family life, the antislavery movement, politics, and law. Of particular interest are the transition of American intellectual and philosophical thought from the Enlightenment to Romanticism and the influence of this evolution on Lincoln's own ideas.By examining aspects of Lincolns lifehis personal piety in comparison with the beliefs of his contemporaries, his success in selfschooling when frontier youths had limited opportunities for a formal education, his marriage and home life in Springfield, and his legal careerin light of broader cultural contexts such as the development of democracy, the growth of visual arts, the question of slaves as property, and French visitor Alexis de Tocquevilles observations on America, the contributors delve into the mythical Lincoln of folklore and discover a developing political mind and a changing nation.As Lincolns America shows, the sociopolitical culture of nineteenthcentury America was instrumental in shaping Lincolns character and leadership. The essays in this volume paint a vivid picture of a young nation and its sixteenth president, arguably its greatest leader.
