ABRAHAM LINCOLN COLLECTIONOLD TIME RADIO - 2 CD - 88 mp3 - Total Playtime: 43:25:36Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its greatest constitutional, military, and moral crisis—the American Civil War—preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, strengthening the national government and modernizing the economy. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was self-educated, and became a country lawyer, a Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator during the 1830s, and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives during the 1840s. He promoted rapid modernization of the economy through banks, railroads and tariffs to encourage the building of factories; he opposed the war with Mexico in 1846.After a series of highly-publicized debates in 1858 during which he opposed the expansion of slavery, Lincoln lost the U.S. Senate race in Illinois to his archrival, Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln, a moderate from a swing state, secured the Republican Party presidential nomination in 1860. With almost no support in the South, Lincoln swept the North and was elected president in 1860. His election was the signal for seven southern slave states to declare their secession from the Union and form the Confederacy. The departure of the Southerners gave Lincoln's party firm control of Congress, but no formula for compromise or reconciliation was found. Lincoln explained in his second inaugural address: "Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the Nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came."When the North enthusiastically rallied behind the national flag after the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, Lincoln concentrated on the military and political dimensions of the war effort. His goal was now to reunite the nation. He suspended habeas corpus, arresting and temporarily detaining thousands of suspected secessionists in the border states without trial. Lincoln averted British recognition of the Confederacy by defusing the Trent affair in late 1861. His numerous complex moves toward ending slavery centered on the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, using the Army to protect escaped slaves, encouraging the border states to outlaw slavery, and helping push through Congress the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which permanently outlawed slavery. Lincoln closely supervised the war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including commanding general Ulysses S. Grant. Lincoln brought leaders of the major factions of his party into his cabinet and pressured them to cooperate. Lincoln's Navy set up a naval blockade that shut down the South's normal trade, helped take control of Kentucky and Tennessee, and gained control of the Southern river system using gunboats. He tried repeatedly to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia. Each time a general failed, Lincoln substituted another until finally Grant succeeded in 1865.An exceptionally astute politician deeply involved with power issues in each state, Lincoln reached out to War Democrats and managed his own re-election in the 1864 presidential election. As the leader of the moderate faction of the Republican party, Lincoln found his policies and personality were "blasted from all sides": Radical Republicans demanded harsher treatment of the South, War Democrats desired more compromise, Copperheads despised him, and irreconcilable secessionists plotted his death. Politically, Lincoln fought back with patronage, by pitting his opponents against each other, and by appealing to the American people with his powers of oratory. His Gettysburg Address of 1863 became the most quoted speech in American history. It was an iconic statement of America's dedication to the principles of nationalism, republicanism, equal rights, liberty, and democracy. At the close of the war, Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to reunite the nation speedily through a policy of generous reconciliation in the face of lingering and bitter divisiveness. Six days after the surrender of Confederate commanding general Robert E. Lee, however, Lincoln was assassinated by actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln's death was the first assassination of a U.S. president and sent the nation into mourning. Lincoln has been consistently ranked both by scholars and the public as one of the greatest U.S. presidents, if not the greatest.SHOWS LIST13th Juror -John Wilkes Booth 49-04-23Academy Award Theater 46-07-10 Young Mr. LincolnAmerican Adventure 55-09-22 The Rat on Lincoln AvenueAnthology 55-02-13 A Salute to LincolnAny Bonds Today 42-02-04 Guest - Henry FondaBig Show 50-11-19 Eddie Cantor, Mindie Carson, Jimmy Durante, Bob HopeBill Stern Sports Newsreel 49-06-17 Guest - Connie MackBill Stern Sports Newsreel 50-02-10 Guest - Bob FellerCalvin Coolidge 1919 01 Lincoln Day ProclamationCavalcade of America 360212 Abraham LincolnCavalcade of America 400213 Abraham Lincoln - The War YearsCavalcade of America 400507 The Story Of Nancy HanksCavalcade of America 401023 Ann Rutledge and LincolnCavalcade of America 410212 Abraham Lincoln - The War YearsCavalcade of America 410922 Native Land Pt1Cavalcade of America 410929 Native Land Pt2Cavalcade of America 430531 Mr Lincolns WifeCavalcade of America 440207 Prologue to GloryCavalcade of America 441023 The Girl Lincoln LovedCavalcade of America 450212 The Man Who Taught LincolnCavalcade of America 460211 Remembered DayCavalcade of America 480209 Mr Lincoln Goes to the PlayCavalcade of America 481108 Garden KeyCavalcade of America 500530 Miss Vinnie and Mr LincolnCavalcade of America 510130 KeepsakesCavalcade of America 510508 A Duel with Aunt RebeccaCBS Radio Mystery 75-03-18 It's Murder Mr LincolnCBS Radio Mystery 82-10-06 Abraham Lincoln Murder TrialCBS Radio Mystery 98-07-23 It's Murder Mr. LincolnCisco Kid - Lincoln County RaidColumbia Workshop 410713 Anne Was an Ordinary GirlColumbia Workshop 440321 Lonesome TrainCrime Classics 53-12-09 The Assassination of Abraham LincolnElection Song - Lincoln & LibertyElection Song - Rally round the Cause ( Lincoln)Eternal Light 45-02-11 Mr Lincoln and the RabbitEternal Light 48-04-11 The Man Who Remembered LincolnEternal Light 56-01-01 The Man Who Knew LincolnEternal Light 56-02-12 Mr Flanagan, the Chaplain and Mr LincolnEternal Light 62-01-14 Mr. Flannigan, Chaplain And Mr Lincoln (Rpt 56-02-12)Eternal Light 62-01-21 The Man Who Knew Lincoln (Rpt 56-01-01)Eternal Light 62-02-11 Mr. Lincoln And The Rabbi (Rpt 45-02-11)Eternal Light 63-02-10 The Man Who Remembered Lincoln (Rpt 48-04-11)Family Theater 470515 The Lonely RoadFamily Theater 550209 The Sangamo SageFibber McGee and Molly 580427 Lincoln And Valentines DayFord Theater 48-02-08 Abe Lincoln in IllinoisFree Company 41-03-02 The Mole on Lincoln's CheekGood News Of 38-10-20 Guest - Joan CrawfordGreat Scenes from Great Plays 48-12-17 Young Mr LincolnHallmark Hall of Fame 54-02-14 Mary Todd LincolnHallmark Playhouse 49-02-03 The Abe Lincoln - Prairie YearsHallmark Playhouse 50-02-09 Lincoln and the Baltimore PlotHallmark Playhouse 51-02-08 Abraham Lincoln - A Man for the AgesJean Shepherd Show 73-02-12 How Old Was Abraham LincolnLen Spencer - Lincoln's Speech at Gettysburg 1903Life with Luigi 50-02-07 The Abraham Lincoln LetterLives Of Great Men 39-03-25 LincolnLone Ranger 41-12-29 1394 A Page from Mr LincolnLux Radio Theater 400422 Abe Lincoln in IllinoisMagic Key 38-11-06 Abe Lincoln in IllinoisMagic Key 39-02-12 Lincoln Day Appreciation by Alexander WoollcottMercury Theater 1938-08-15-Abraham LincolnMr President - Abe Lincoln in Telegraph OfficeMr President 48-01-11 Abraham LincolnMr President 48-07-25 Abraham LincolnMr President 48-09-19 Abraham LincolnMr President 48-10-31 Abraham LincolnMr President 48-11-28 Abraham LincolnMr President 49-03-06 Abraham LincolnMr President 49-04-03 Abraham LincolnMr President 50-01-22 Abraham LincolnMr President 50-02-19 Advice And ConsentMr President 53-08-25 Abraham LincolnMysterious Traveler 500207 The Man Who Tried to Save LincolnNew World A' Coming 45-02-11 They Knew LincolnPorts Of Call 35-xx-xx (xx) United StatesRadio Readers Digest 470213 50 The Counsel AssignedRecollection at 30 561107 Veterans Day - Wars From The PastRecollection at 30 570213 Abraham LincolnRudy Vallee - 41-01-02 Supporting Cast (Rehearsal)Snooks 39-10-26 Abe-LincolnStroke of Fate 53-11-01 A Young Abraham Lincoln Had Secured the Job He Wanted In 1841, Consular ServiceSuspense 620211 912 The Man Who Went Back To Save LincolnYou Are There 470707 Assassination of LincolnYou Are There 471214 Assassination of Abraham Lincoln (repeat of 01)You Are There 481121 Assassination of Lincoln (repeat of 01 and 09)You Are There 490605 79 Capture of John Wilkes BoothBe Aware: MP3 CD WILL NOT PLAY IN REGULAR CD PLAYERS.
