Autoren-Porträt von Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is not conventionally known as an author in the literary sense, but rather as a seminal figure in American history whose written works, primarily speeches, and official documents, hold great historical significance. Born on February 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Kentucky, Lincoln rose from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of political power at the helm of a nation embroiled in civil war. His most notable document, 'The Emancipation Proclamation', issued on January 1, 1863, represents a turning point in American history, as it declared the freedom of slaves in the ten Confederate states then in rebellion. This document, characterized by its legalistic and political language, is not a book in the traditional sense but a formal government order. Nonetheless, it endures as a written testament to Lincoln's commitment to abolition and stands as a symbol of liberty and equality. Lincoln's literary style is marked by its clarity, moral conviction, and the poetic cadence of his speeches, most famously exemplified in the Gettysburg Address. While his written legacy doesn't include traditional books, Lincoln's collective works have been compiled and studied extensively for their rhetorical genius and historical import.
