...learning in his administration, said Kearns Goodwin. Ready Willingness to Share Credit for Success In response to concerns expressed by friends about the actions of some of his Cabinet members, Lincoln stated that the "path to success and ambition is broad enough for two" said Kearns Goodwin. When there was success, Lincoln shared the credit with all of those involved. Ready Willingness to Share Blame for Failure When mistakes were made by members of his Cabinet, Lincoln stood up for them said Kearns Goodwin. When contracts related to the war effort raised serious questions about a member of his administration, Lincoln spoke up and indicated that he and his entire Cabinet were to blame. Awareness of Own Weaknesses Kearns Goodwin noted that one of the weaknesses acknowledged by Lincoln was his tendency to give people too many chances and because he was aware, he was able to compensate for that weakness. As an example, she stated that George McClellan, Commander in Chief of the Union Army, refused to follow directives about the war effort. Lincoln eventually...

...With Lincoln’s Ten Percent Plan, it allowed the country to “forgive and forget”, which is what the country needed: to industrialize the country and unify both the North and South again. If Congress did not reject this plan, I think there would have been less tension because lingering on the aftermath of the Civil War gave way to Northerners to continue to mock and ridicule the South for losing. Lincoln’s plan could have decreased the amounts of tension and racial segregation because it would have stopped the South from continuing to feel unwanted in the Union and inferior. It only called for 10% loyalty in each state and for them to abolish slavery officially. However, Lincoln’s leniency could have been taken for granted as well. The South romanticized the Civil War into the “Lost Cause” and it allowed the Southerners to remain bitter towards the Union they already despised. I believe it could have been possible that the South would have risen up again against the North, if they were not punished. It is important to note that the Confederates only surrendered to the Union because...

...Assignment Five 1. Lincoln’s melancholy made him to have higher purpose, which was to fight for freedom, justice, and liberty. According to Shenk, “When he threw himself into the fight against the extension of slavery, the same qualities that had long brought him so much trouble played a defining role. The suffering he had endured lent him clarity and conviction, creative skills in the face of adversity, and a faithful humility that helped him guide the nation through its greatest peril.” As a result, his melancholy empowered him to have a higher purpose, which was that “They meant to set up a standard maxim for free society…which should be familiar to all, and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for … even though never perfectly attained” (Shenk). 2. “When faced with uncertainty he had the patience, endurance, and vigor to stay in that place of tension, and the courage to be alone” (Shenk). I would recommend this idea to my friend because it is useful and helpful to encourage those who confront uncertainty to be persistent and patient to overcome uncertainty. Assignment Six...

...choose to marry Lincoln which pitted Stephen Douglas against him in the first of many ways. The climax of this feud is ingrained in the election for a state senate seat 1858. This election drew a lot of public attention due to the publicized debates between the two men. These debates played a large role in influencing our modern day campaigning styles. In this political clash, Stephen Douglas would be triumphant, and had the political hand over Lincoln going into the presidential election two years later. Nevertheless, the state senate election and the debates held during it had somewhat of a stronghold over the presidential campaigns in 1860. Author Douglas R. Egerton writes “The Republican Platform was in circulation, of course, as was Lincoln’s publications of his 1858 debates with Douglas”. Many were made aware of the past between these two candidates because rivalry was something the defined politics in Illinois a few years back, and history had the chance of repeating itself. In a way, this was a dramatic story line that made the election at hand...

...way, who knows how our society would be like today. The fact is, the South was at a disadvantage right from the get-go, before the war even started. From then on, the south was hurt not only economically at the beginning of the war, but also with man power and many other complications to come. One being that most of the population living in the South at that time was made up of slaves. They were also far behind the North with industry, technology and transporting goods which was a huge setback because the North controlled goods coming from England and other countries. When Abraham Lincoln became president, he and the Republican Party had a long list of things they wanted to accomplish right away, which included the Homestead Act, and Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. The ongoing bickering and intense hatred between the North and South before the civil war was so distinct that you could cut the tension with a knife. In 1820, forty years before the Civil war, it was the beginning of a monster to come. As the country rapidly moved west into new territories, there had to be a decision made. Were the new territories going to be slave states or Free states? This argument was what fueled the fire for forty years to come. The Missouri Compromise was thought to be the ultimate fix to the slave issue. Any state about the 36 30 parallel was to be a free state and any state below the line was to be a Slave State. As states started to become part of the union, both the North and the...

...President Abraham Lincoln appointed the best and brightest to his Cabinet, individuals who were also some of his greatest political rivals. He demonstrated his leadership by pulling this group together into a unique team that represented the greatest minds of his time, according to historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. Lincoln demonstrated an ability to withstand adversity and to move forward in the face of frustration, said Kearns Goodwin, a keynote speaker at SHRM’s 2008 Annual Conference in Chicago. She identified 10 qualities that made Lincoln a great leader. Ten qualities Kearns Goodwin believes we should look for in our present day leaders. Capacity to Listen to Different Points of View While researching her Pulitzer Prize winning book, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, Kearns Goodwin learned that Lincoln had the capacity to listen to different points of view. He created a climate where Cabinet members were free to disagree without fear of retaliation. At the same time, he knew when to stop the discussion and after listening to the various opinions, make a final decision. Ability to Learn on the Job Lincoln was able to acknowledge errors, learn from them, and then move. In this way, he established a culture of learning in his administration, said Kearns Goodwin. Ready Willingness to Share Credit for Success In response to concerns expressed by friends about the actions of some of his Cabinet members, Lincoln stated that the "path to success and ambition...

...American Civil War The American Civil War is a very misunderstood war. It is known for the war that ended slavery. What most people don’t know is the war was not originally fought for the abolition of slavery. The South, or the Confederate, wanted to exercise their rights as states and split from the north. Well Abraham Lincoln thought that would be the downfall of the United States. The Civil War was fought to between the Union and the Confederacy on the issue of splitting up the United States. The country was divided between two philosophies, either they thought the country could only survive and prosper as a whole, or they believed the south had the right to split from the union. The country was divided between two different philosophies. The North believed if the South seceded from the North the country would crumble. While the South believed they had the right as states to separate themselves from the Union. (Malvasi) Abraham Lincoln was the head of the Unions thinking. He had a great sense of political knowledge. He realized if the south did secede the Union wouldn’t stand a chance against attack because half of the country essentially would have been gone. Lincoln originally had no plans of abolishing slavery all his focus was on keeping the country together in one strong unit. (Malvasi) The South on the other hand felt they had been mistreated by the Union and were being taken advantage of. Soon the idea of secession came around ...

...the servitude issue, every time another state was to be admitted to the Union, another discussion would eject. Authoritative endeavors, for example, the dubious Wilmot Proviso, the thought of mainstream sway, Clay's Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act-planned to strike a harmony between free states and slave states. Sectional clashes kept on heightenning, nonetheless, spelling inconvenience for the isolated country. Taking after the decision of Republican Abraham Lincoln, seven Southern states reacted by voting to withdraw from the Union, reporting the formation of the Confederate States of America. The Civil War would soon take after. 2.4 The Civil War Segment 4 looks at the points of interest and weaknesses of the North and the South toward the begin of the Civil War. The North's expansive populace, transportation frameworks, maritime power, and numerous assets made the Union very much prepared for pursuing a war. Conversely, the Confederacy's absence of adequate income and compounding money related state made financing the war exertion troublesome. The South had the benefit of prevalent military pioneers, yet it needed transportation systems and industry. A Southern triumph in the first fight persuaded Lincoln to use all assets to annihilation the Confederacy. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation taking after the thrashing of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's at Antietam, the bloodiest one-day fight in American history. This opened...
