Early American “sum books” were old-fashioned notebooks. They were multiple pages stitched together.

Most sum books contained tables on weights and measures, percentages, fractions and rules of mathematics.

Shown here is one of ten surviving pages from Abraham Lincoln’s homemade student sum book.

Lincoln often said, "Everything I want to know is in books.”

When more people moved west for gold or farmland, Americans could make new states. Arguments began: Will the new states permit slaves or be free?

“It is the right of the people to make a Slave Territory or a Free Territory.”


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lincoln_Douglas_Debates_1958_issue-4c.jpg

"A house divided against itself cannot stand.


“I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free.


“I do not expect the Union to be dissolved –I do not expect the house to fall– but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.”


"A house divided against itself cannot stand.


What is ‘a house divided’? Did Lincoln mean a real house?

This map shows that Southern states had more land, which suggests they might have held the advantage during the Civil War. However, Maryland and Delaware supported the Union, as did most citizens living in western Virginia and eastern Tennessee.Also, the North had an economic advantage: more people, factories and banks were in the North. Southern leaders recognized that their main hope lay in early and decisive action.

"Writing the Emancipation Proclamation" was a political cartoon created by a Confederate sympathizer. The artist depicts Lincoln writing the Proclamation with ink from a well held by the devil, while stepping on the Constitution. On the walls are pictures of the bloody slave uprising in Haiti in the 1790s, and radical abolitionist John Brown’s violence in Kansas in the 1850s.


Lincoln writing the Emancipation Proclamation


A print based on David Gilmour Blythe's fanciful painting of Lincoln writing the Emancipation Proclamation. Contrary to the title, the proclamation was issued in 1862 and went into effect in January 1863. In a cluttered study Lincoln sits in shirtsleeves and slippers, at work on the document near an open window. His left hand is placed on a Bible that rests on a copy of the Constitution in his lap. The scene is crammed with symbolic details and other meaningful references. A bust of Lincoln's strongly Unionist predecessor Andrew Jackson sits on a mantlepiece near the window at Lincoln's right. A bust of another former President, James Buchanan, who was widely viewed as ineffectual against secessionism, hangs by a rope around its neck from a bookcase behind Lincoln. The scales of justice appear in the left corner, and a railsplitter's maul lies on the floor at Lincoln's feet.
