1861réf. 1304601861. LINCOLN Abraham. Inaugural Address of the President of the United States on the Fourth of March 1861. Special Session. Senate. Executive Document No. 1. Washington: Government Printing Office March 8 1861. Slim octavo disbound; pp. 10. $8800.Rare second printing of Lincoln's important first inaugural address printed by order of the Senate four days after its delivery.On the morning of March 4 1861 Abraham Lincoln was escorted with little fanfare to his inauguration. Anticipating violence General Winfield Scott had stationed riflemen on housetops along the parade route as well as platoons and cavalry in the streets. On the platform erected at the Capitol's east portico ""Lincoln put on a pair of steel-bowed spectacles and began reading his inaugural address in a clear high-pitched voice that carried well out to the crowd of 25000. The address was a document of inspired statesmanship. He reminded the South of his pledge not to interfere with slavery but he firmly rejected secessionÑthe Union was 'unbroken.' Finally he issued a grave warning undiluted by his advisors who recommended that Lincoln soften his martial tone: 'In your hands my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen and not in mine is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve protect and defend it.' Abraham Lincoln was resolved to be President of the whole Union"" Bruce Catton. The address contains some of Lincoln's most famous words: ""The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.""

The Emancipation Proclamation is ""one of the strangest and most important state papers ever issued by an American PresidentÉ It was a statement of intent rather than a valid statute and it was of doubtful legalityÉ But in the end it changed the whole character of the war and more than any other single thing doomed the Confederacy to defeat"" Ketchum & Catton 252.

1860réf. 1197371860. LINCOLN Abraham. Manuscript poll book. New Salisbury Indiana November 6 1860. Slim folio 8-1/2 by 14 inches stitched original self-wrappers; pp. 12. $4250.Fascinating 1860 poll book for New Salisbury Jackson Township Harrison County Indiana used to record votes in the election of November 6 1860.Democratic President James Buchanan pledged to serve only one term as president. Thus the field was wide open in 1860. Senator Stephan A. Douglas Buchanan's chief rival decided to seek the 1860 Democratic nomination. However the slavery issue that had been so divisive in 1860 became even more so by 1860. Southern Democrats refused to support Douglas and broke up the Democratic National Convention in Charleston South Carolina. When the convention reconvened in Baltimore the following month a majority nominated Douglas and Herschel Johnson of Georgia as the Northern Democratic ticket. Some delegates broke away and nominated John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky and Joseph Lane of Oregon as the Southern Democratic candidates. The Republican National Convention also met that year. On the first ballot delegates pledged to various opponents of William H. Seward voted for their favorite candidates denying Seward of the nomination. On the second and third ballots many of them switched to Abraham Lincoln giving him the nomination. Hannibal Hamlin of Maine was quickly selected as the nominee for vice president. The Constitutional Union Party Convention also met and nominated John Bell of Tennessee and Edward Everett of Massachusetts in an attempt to bridge divisions over slavery.Although the election of 1860 was a four-way race among Douglas Breckinridge Lincoln and Bell sectionalism essentially turned it into a race between Lincoln and Douglas in the North and Breckinridge and Bell is the South. Ultimately Lincoln won a plurality of 39.8% due in large part to his antislavery stance. Lincoln also carried 17 northern and western states including Indiana. In fact Lincoln won 51.1% of the popular vote essentially a landslide in a tight race. Moreover Lincoln carried Jackson TownshipÑthe home of this poll bookÑwith nearly 75% of the vote though this poll book from New Salisbury shows him with just 70 votes for Lincoln's electors versus 201 votes for Douglas' electors. Secession began just six weeks later leaving Lincoln with the inevitable and unenviable destiny of become a wartime president.
