Abraham Lincoln's life reads like an American folk tale. The story of a boy born into poverty, whose drive and determination saw him become the most powerful man in the nation. But how did he navigate a path for a youthful country so deeply divided over slavery? What was his role in the devastating civil war? And how did one man attract such public adoration and murderous wrath all at the same time? This is a Short History of Abraham Lincoln. Written by Dan Smith. With thanks to David S Reynolds, Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York, and author of Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times.

Through the characters in her famous novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, this daughter of a minister exposed the horrors of slavery and influenced the course of American history. Nine years after the release of her instantly best-selling book, the Civil War began. Harriet's deep love for God and her sense of justice is evident in all of the books she wrote. She traveled extensively, spoke to thousands in the US and abroad, and even dined with Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle. Even through the times of tragedy in her life, Harriet continued to give generously to others. After the Civil War, she bought a plantation and hired back the displaced former slaves. She personally taught hundreds of former slaves to read and write. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe Mightier than the Sword: Uncle Tom's Cabin and the Battle for America by David S. Reynolds

From humble beginnings, Lincoln's enduring desire for self-improvement and extraordinary ability to strike a balance between opposing forces led him to become one of the most consequential figures of the 19th century. Prize-winning author and historian David S. Reynolds illuminates the forces that shaped Lincoln and how our nation's 16th president rose to the unprecedented challenges of the time.

An enduring theme of Abraham Lincoln's life was his genius for striking a balance between opposing forces. Lacking formal schooling but with an unquenchable thirst for self-improvement, Lincoln had a talent for wrestling and bawdy jokes that made him popular with his peers, even as his appetite for poetry and prodigious gifts for memorization set him apart from them through his childhood, his years as a lawyer, and his entrance into politics.

“Some 16,000 books have been written about Abraham Lincoln,” Gordon Wood writes in The Wall Street Journal, “more than any other historical figure except Jesus.” So why should you read one more? Because “there has never been one like this one.” In Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times, David S. Reynolds has written “a marvelous cultural biography that captures Lincoln in all his historical fullness”:Abraham Lincoln grew up in absolutely wild times. It was divisive, partisan, and violent. Government in antebellum America was weak and unstructured. The economy was in chaos. Gordon Wood notes thousands of different kinds of paper-money notes flew about, and risk-taking and bankruptcies were everywhere; even some states went bankrupt. There were duels, rioting and mobbing. Americans drank more per capita than nearly all other nations, which provoked temperance movements. Fistfights, knifings and violence were ordinary affairs, taking place even in state legislatures and the Congress. But Abraham Lincoln survived and thrive in this environment. David Reynolds, today's guest and author of "Abraham Lincoln in his Times, said that far from distancing himself from the wild world of antebellum America, Lincoln was thoroughly immersed in it. After he assumed the presidency, he was able to redefine democracy for his fellow Americans ‘precisely because he had experienced culture in all its dimensions—from high to low, sacred to profane, conservative to radical, sentimental to subversive.’“Much of Lincoln’s greatness, writes Mr. Reynolds, came from his ability to tap into this culture. He was able to respond thoughtfully to the teeming chaos of antebellum America. Lincoln was less a self-made man than an America-made man. He told his law partner, William Herndon, ‘Conditions make the man and not man the conditions.’ But, according to Herndon, Lincoln also ‘believed firmly in the power of human effort to modify the environments which surround us.’ Indeed, his capacity to shape the world around him was crucial to his life and to the life of the nation.”

(10/26/20) Abraham Lincoln did not come out of nowhere. But if the 16th US president was shaped by his times, he also managed at his life's fateful hour to shape them to an extent few could have foreseen. What emerges in “Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times,” the new book by David S. Reynolds, professor of American studies at the CUNY Graduate Center, is a man who at each stage in his life managed to arrive at a broader view of things than all but his most enlightened peers. Join us for a look at a President whose name continues to be brought up by major politicians in both parties in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

David S. Reynolds, author of the Bancroft Prize-winning cultural biography of Walt Whitman and many other iconic works of nineteenth century American history, understands the currents in which Abraham Lincoln swam as well as anyone alive. His magisterial biography ABE: Abraham Lincoln in His Times (Penguin Press) is the product of full-body immersion into the riotous tumult of American life in the decades before the Civil War, and a framework for understanding the politics of our own divided age.

Professor David S.
