In the “White House Funeral Sermon for Abraham Lincoln”, Dr. Phineas Gurley writes about how “he is dead; but the cause he so ardently loved, so ably, patiently, faithfully represented and defended- not for himself only, but for all people in all their coming generations…” The cause that Lincoln was fighting for was that every man has equal rights. Similarly, Frederick Douglass believed there should be a world where “none [are] lonely, none [are] hunted, alien…” This quote was from Robert Hayden’s Frederick Douglass poem that showed that Douglass’ legacy lived on through the ones that chose to continue
In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout, Calpurnia, and Atticus stand out when courage comes to mind. These characters show courage in many unique ways with different situations.

In 1952, Thomas P. Benjamin, an expert in the history of Abraham Lincoln’s life, published his book, Abraham Lincoln: A Biography, which argues that Lincoln’s election was the cause of the war but Lincoln’s efforts would also lead to the North’s decisive victory. This argument renders similar to the arguments of Charnwood and Ludwig, but differs in the way that Lincoln’s actions are glorified tremendously in this second time period.

His clearly recognized position of the moral issue of slavery gave rise to Lincoln’s fame and aided his presidential election.5 Benjamin further states the point that Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was an important milestone

American Civil War historian, James M. McPherson, in his essay How Lincoln Won the War with Metaphors, argues that if the Union and the Confederacy had exchanged presidents the Confederacy might have won the war. He supports his claim by comparing and contrasting Jefferson Davis’s lack of ability to communicate in an uplifting fashion to Abraham Lincoln’s use of figurative language, especially his metaphors that have the persuasive power of concreteness and clarity which everyone understands and by providing numerous examples of Lincolns metaphors.
