Lincoln’s Greatest Speech
The Second Inaugural
Ronald c. White Jr.
As the day for Lincoln’s second inauguration drew near, Americans
wondered what their sixteenth president would say about the Civil War.
Would Lincoln guide the nation toward “Reconstruction”?
What About the slaves? They had been emancipated, but what about the
matter of suffrage? When Lincoln finally stood before his fellow
countrymen on March 4, 1865, and had 703 words to share, the American
public was stunned. The President had not offered the North a victory
speech, no did he excoriate the South for the sin of slavery. Instead,
he called the whole co9entry guilty of the sin and pleaded for
reconciliation and unity.

Lincoln Emancipation Proclamation
The End of Slavery in America
Allen C. Guelzo
One of the nation’s foremost Lincoln scholars offers an
authorities consideration of the document that represents the most
far-reaching accomplishment of our greatest president. No single paper
in American history changed the lives of as many American as
Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. But no American document has
been held up to greater suspicion. Its bland and lawyer like language
is compared to the soaring eloquence of the Gettysburg Address and the
Second Inaugural; its effectiveness in freeing slaves has been
dismissed as a legal illusion. And for some African-Americans the
Proclamation raises doubts about Lincoln himself.

Vicksburg 1863

the Mississippi
Alan Hankinson
The 1863 Vicksburg campaign
was to prove decisive to the outcome of the American Civil War. Known as the
‘Gibratlta of the West’, Vicksburg was the last Confederate stronghold on the
Mississippi River. In a masterly campaign Grant used riverboats and steamers to
land his army south of the city. He then defeated the armies of Generals ‘Joe’

in Vicksburg and after an epic 47-day siege he was forced to surrender the
remnants of his force to Grant on 4 July 1863, one day after Lee’s defeat at
