Abraham Lincoln amtierte von 1861 bis 1865 als 16. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Im Jahr 1860 erstmals gewählt, gelang ihm 1864 die Wiederwahl für eine zweite Amtszeit. Er war der erste Präsident aus den Reihen der Republikanischen Partei und der erste, der einem Attentat zum Opfer fiel.
Lincolns Präsidentschaft gilt als eine der bedeutendsten in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten: Die Wahl des Sklavereigegners veranlasste zunächst sieben, später weitere vier der sklavenhaltenden Südstaaten, aus der Union auszutreten und einen eigenen Staatenbund zu bilden, die Konföderierten Staaten von Amerika. Lincoln führte die verbliebenen Nordstaaten durch den daraus entstandenen Sezessionskrieg. Er setzte die Wiederherstellung der Union durch und betrieb erfolgreich die Abschaffung der Sklaverei in den USA. Unter seiner Regierung schlug das Land endgültig den Weg zum zentral regierten, modernen Industriestaat ein und schuf so die Basis für seinen Aufstieg zur Weltmacht im 20. Jahrhundert.
Wir sind nicht Feinde, sondern Freunde. Wir dürfen nicht Feinde sein. Ob auch die Leidenschaft das Band unserer Liebe straff gezogen hat, sie darf es nicht brechen. Die mystischen Saiten der Erinnerung, die sich von jedem Schlachtfelde und Patriotengrabe zu jedem lebendigen Herzen und zu jedem häuslichen Herde über dieses ganze weite Land erstrecken, werden aufʼs Neue in den großen Chor der Union einstimmen, wenn sie wiederum, was sicher zu erwarten steht, von den bessern Engeln unserer Natur berührt werden.

Beide Theile waren dem Krieg abgeneigt; der Eine aber wollte eher Krieg führen, als die Nation fortbestehen lassen, während der Andere lieber den Krieg annehmen, als die Nation untergehen lassen wollte. Und so kam denn der Krieg.

Rows of low white headstones stretch across the open lawn. A monument and trees are visible in the far distance. The Illinois Monument (1911), visible in the distance, interrupts the uniform pattern of headstones. The trees that surround the landscape and the overall organization of the features provide a strong sense of place. The monument portrays a sculpture of Columbia, alongside the figures of a young man and young female. The final clause of Lincolns first Inaugural Address and the final clause of his Gettysburg Address are carved onto the pedestal.

Bust portrait of a bearded man facing forward. Abraham Lincoln An exact reproduction of a newly discovered contemporary portrait of Abraham Lincoln painted by Thomas Buchanan Read, in 1864. Read, the poet and artist, served as a major and A. D. C., on General Lew Wallaces staff during the Civil War, and was an official recorder for the Federal Government, by means of his brush and by his verse of events and persons involved in the great conflict. General Lew Wallace in 1864 at the head of 5800 men, fought the battle of Monocacy against a force of 28,000 men, under General Early. His action at this time resulted in the saving of Washington D. C. Major Read, who was present during this encounter, painted his portrait of Lincoln soon after; for President Lincoln and the Artist were chance guests under the same roof, and at the same time in a residence near Washington. The painting, a small study and done in a rather quick manner, was printed on a wooden panel eight inches by ten inches. This portrait was presented to their mutual host the next day by Mr. Read. The painting was never exhibited, and after many years passed on to descendants of the host who lived in Kentucky. Here the portrait was stored in a trunk for 38 years, and was finally disposed of to an art and antique dealer in Cincinnati, Ohio. The present owner, C. H. Kunning, of Columbus, Ohio, procured the portrait from this dealer in March of 1930. Through the efforts of Mr. Karl Bolander, the director of the Columbus, Ohio, Gallery of Fine Arts, the convening directors of prominent art galleries from all parts of the United States in session at the Fogg Museum at Harvard University in July 1931, and the Vose Galleries of Boston, the identity of the artist, the age and authenticity of the portrait was further established. The painting was x-rayed at the Fogg Museum and was later a loan exhibit to that Museum. It was also one of the outstanding paintings at the inaugural exhibit of the new Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts held in January of 1931. Collectors and students of Lincoln, in all parts of the United States, including Mr. H. W. Fay, the Custodian of Lincolns Tomb at Springfield, Illinois, say that this portrait of Lincoln is one of the best, if not the best, that has ever been produced of the martyred President. A reproduction of this painting is being used for the first time in the new book on Lincoln, entitled, Abraham Lincoln, a New Portrait, by the eminent authority on Lincoln, the Honorable Emanuel Hertz, a prominent lawyer of New York City. Nicholas Murray Butler wrote the introduction for this book. The portrait will also be used in the new book entitled, Art and Artists of the White House, by Charles E. Fairman, art curator, U. S. Capitol. Thomas Buchanan Read was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, on March 12, 1822, and died in New York, May 11, 1872. He was a protege of Nicholas Longworth, Ohios first capitalist. After extensive study here and abroad, Read lived much of his life in Europe, making periodic visits to America, and spending much of these visits in Cincinnati, Ohio. His best known works are, Longfellows Children, in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, a portrait of George Peabody, (Peabody Institute, Baltimore), Star of Bethlehem, Water Sprite, Sheridans Ride, Lost Pleiad, Undine, heads of Robert Browning, Longfellow, Tennyson and President Harrison, The Queen of Naples, the Pope in 1872, Cardinal Pentini, The Harp of Erin and many of the nobility of Europe. His best known poem is that of Sheridans Ride. Others are Drifting, New Pastoral and The Patriots Oath. Lincoln was very fond of Reads poetry and carried a copy of The Patriots Oath in his pocketbook at all times. (in type on reverse side of image).

Scope and content: On July 12, 1862, Congress passed a supplemental bill to the original DC Emancipation Act which covered another type of claim, allowing slaves whose masters had not filed for compensation to do so. An important factor in deciding claims under this Act was that the testimony of both blacks and whites was accepted. Now, if an owner challenged a slave who petitioned for freedom, the testimony from both was given equal weight, a sharp departure from the previous legal practice in which slaves or freed blacks could not testify against whites.
