520 _a"Lincoln, the American" by Frank O. Lowden is a commemorative address delivered by the author, who served as Governor of Illinois, in 1919. This historical account reflects on the moral and political principles upheld by Abraham Lincoln, emphasizing the enduring relevance of his ideas in the context of contemporary societal issues. The address aims to showcase Lincoln's contributions to humanity and his status as an icon of American values, framed against the backdrop of the Great World War that had just concluded. In this address, Lowden explores Lincoln's philosophical stance on morality, emphasizing how he viewed political issues through a lens of ethical considerations rather than mere policies. He contrasts Lincoln's vision with that of Charles Darwin, arguing that while Darwin focused on physical laws, Lincoln understood the moral laws that govern human interactions. Lowden highlights Lincoln's commitment to individual freedoms, labor rights, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens, positing that Lincoln's legacy is not only pivotal to American identity but also serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for global humanity. Through reflections on Lincoln’s speeches and actions, Lowden conveys that preserving American values is essential not just for national prosperity, but for the welfare of people everywhere.
