Morse, Jr. is a historical account of the life and presidency of Abraham Lincoln, written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into pivotal moments of the Civil War era, particularly focusing on Lincoln's views and policies regarding emancipation and military strategy during turbulent times in American history. The text likely explores Lincoln's complex navigation of political sentiment regarding slavery and union, making it a significant resource for understanding his leadership and the challenges he faced. At the start of the volume, the narrative discusses the political landscape of the North in spring and summer of 1861, illustrating a united front under the idea of preserving the Union while hinting at the underlying issues of slavery that were at the heart of the conflict. Morse describes the delicate balance Lincoln maintained in his approach to emancipation, particularly in relation to Border States and military commanders, some of whom resisted measures that threatened the institution of slavery. The opening chapters set the stage for how Lincoln's administration evolved in response to the realities of war, including partisan divisions regarding the emancipation of slaves, and the strategies employed to keep the Union intact while effectively addressing the issue of slavery—a complexity that would characterize his presidency throughout the Civil War.
