“The Martyred President”

Posted by   Published in Civil War (1861-1865), Rare Books Themes:

American history teachers may want to check out Emory University’s “The Martyred President,” which provides full text access to fifty seven sermons on Abraham Lincoln’s death. The site includes sermons from different regions and religious denominations, such as Rev. Richard Eddy’s “The Martyr to Liberty” (Universalist) and Rev. Samuel T. Spear’s “The Punishment of Treason” (Presbyterian). These sermons, however, are largely from northern ministers.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will check out the link. I’ve always thought of Abe Lincoln as one of the most under appreciated presidents. thanks again.
