Booth was the leader of a group of pro-Confederate conspirators determined to prevent the South's defeat and when Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on April 9 they decided to kill Lincoln and other key Union leaders hoping to destabilize the war effort and allow Confederate armies still in the field to rally.

Spines very slightly darkened otherwise a near fine partially unopened set complete with the publishers duplicate labels at the end on each volume.<br /> <br /> Abraham Lincoln 1809-1865 was the 16th President of the United States and remains one of the most seminal figures in American History. During his tenure which was cut short by his assassination in 1865 he saw the country through the Civil War and stewarded Emancipation. Carl August Sandburg's 1878-1967 biography The Prairie Years traces the early part of Lincoln's life and the formation of a man who would go on to be president up until his move to Washington. Sandburg would also publish additional volumes covering Lincoln's war years. Hailed as a voice of American Sanburg would win one of his three Pulitzer Prizes for this compelling biography.<br /> <br /> Monaghan 2877. Near Fine. Harcourt, Brace and Company unknown
186085724Chicago: Charles Leib 1860. Very Good. Four-page newspaper. A couple of small holes various brown spots and other bits of minor wear A campaign newspaper for Abraham Lincoln in the Presidential Campaign of 1860. We note a half-column story on the front page of this issue that accuses Senator Douglas of being a Roman Catholic -- a charge based partly on the fact that Mrs. Douglas was a Catholic as were their children -- probably an effective charge in largely Protestant mid-19th century America. Our brief research suggests that Douglas was neither a Catholic nor a formal member of any other organized religious group. The purpose of another half-column story on the front page was to make it clear that Lincoln had publicly condemned the actions of John Brown and did not object to Brown's execution. Charles Leib the editor was a political operative with an unclear background who had previously edited a Democratic campaign newspaper on behalf of the Buchanan campaign in 1856. Leib served briefly as an Assistant Quartermaster in the Union Army before heading to New Mexico probably in 1863 and died there in 1865 at the age of 38. Charles Leib unknown

About Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Metropolitan Record whose Prospectus is printed on the rear wrapper calls itself "an unswerving opponent of fanaticism in every form and an advocate of constitutional liberty and the rights of the citizens against despotic usurpation." <br /> This pamphlet is "A mock trial wherein Lincoln was charged with treasonable intent purposes and designs and of having committed among other unconstitutional acts the following: 'Declared War against Sovereign States under pretence of repossessing himself of certain forts and other property; arresting citizens without process of law; suppressed liberty of speech; stopped publication of certain newspapers; placed the military power above the civil power; overthrown State Sovereignty; forced unconstitutional acts through Congress.' At the conclusion of the trial the Court addressed the 'Criminal' as follows: 'You have been tried and found wanting. You have been given the opportunity of saving a nation but you have stabbed it to the heart. You have converted your country into a despotism'."
