Description

This is a restored copy of the front page of the Saturday, May, 1860 Harper's Weekly Journal of Civilization, New York, biography of Honorable Abram [sic] Lincoln, of Illinois, Republican Candidate for President. The portrait of "Old Uncle Abe" is from a photograph by famed American Civil War historic photographer, Mathew Brady.
Abraham Lincoln was an American lawyer and statesman of Anglo Saxon descent who became the 16th president of the United States of America serving from from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led America through the American Civil War and he was successful in preserving the Union. The Republican Lincoln abolished black African and all other slavery [Chinese, Irish, indentured servitude, etc.] in the United States; he strengthened the federal government, and modernized the U.S. Republican Lincoln was also known for his African colonization proposal to relocate freed American slaves to the west African nation of Liberia where many descendants of those relocated thrive to this day with strong ancestral ties to America.
During the American Civil War for secession hundreds of thousands of Union young men of Anglo and northern European descent suffered horrific deaths and wounds and sacrificed their lives to successfully end black African slavery in the United States. The latter is an historical fact that is rarely reported in the early 21st century media, movie industry and educational institutions.
Mathew Benjamin Brady, photojournalist, born c. 1822–1824 Warren County, New York, U.S., died January 15, 1896 (aged 71–74) New York City, U.S. was one of the earliest photographers in American history. Best known for his scenes of the Civil War, he studied under inventor Samuel Morse, who pioneered the daguerreotype technique in America.
