| 520 | _a"The Papers and Writings of Abraham Lincoln — Volume 5: 1858-1862" by Abraham Lincoln is a historical collection edited by Arthur Brooks Lapsley, documenting a critical period in American history during the mid-19th century. This volume presents a range of Lincoln's letters and speeches, reflecting his thoughts and responses to political events, particularly surrounding the issues of slavery and governance as he navigated his role in the unfolding national crisis. The opening of this compilation sets the tone with several letters penned by Lincoln from Springfield, Illinois, addressing various political figures and discussing electoral strategies, public opinions, and the contentious issue of slavery as it relates to democratic principles. In these early writings, Lincoln showcases his political acumen, noting the significance of public sentiment and the dynamics of political alliances, particularly in the wake of the Dred Scott decision. He articulates his belief that civil liberty must prevail against the encroachment of slavery, stating emphatically that a "house divided against itself cannot stand." Thus, the reader is introduced to a deeply reflective and strategic Lincoln, immersed in the political intricacies of his time as he prepares for the larger battles ahead.
