Lincoln Would Have Changed the Face of Civil Rights
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page piece that postulates that if Abraham Lincoln had lived, his Reconstruction policies may have changed the course of African American history. Lincoln had already penned his notes on Reconstruction that Andrew Johnson implemented. However, Johnson, sympathetic to the South, did not subscribe to Lincoln's tenets of 'equal rights' for all. As a result, freed African Americans continued to suffer under the hands of their former owners. According to historians, Lincoln would have used any extreme, including force and marshall law to bring about equality for all, as supported by his writings. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
