Abraham Lincoln Religion in Politics

[L Verge]

It will be interesting to see your mentoring professor's comments on this, but I personally feel that you have succinctly stated your objectives and what you hope to prove.

I also breathed a sigh of relief in that you emphatically state that the purpose is to show definite political outcomes resulting from Lincoln's religious (or non-religious) convictions. I was concerned as I read the comments that we had previously made to you that we were not really helping you in developing the political angle; we were still personalizing his tenets rather than politicizing them.

P.S. Old school teacher me did catch a few typos - one near the end had a capital T on "the" instead of lower case, and the other had to do with a singular noun that carried a plural verb, or vice versa. Will check back over it and be more specific.

This article is 18 years old, but it might help with broad ideas. https://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/19/us/be...hough.html Note the title of Professor Guelzo's book, which is now almost two decades old. Have you consulted it?

Professor Guelzo is still in the teaching field at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, and you might be able to contact him for thoughts. Roger and I have also been in touch with possibly the best Lincoln authority, Harold Holzer. He is aware of your project, but is swamped with work right now (still works for a living). I hope that he will respond at some point, however. I have thoughts on some other contacts too.

Do you have a deadline for completion?
