The Reputation of Presidents Takes a Hit in Their Second Term

[RJNorton]

Back in the 1930s author/journalist Lloyd Lewis gave an address on the topic of Lincoln's second term. It was entitled If Lincoln Had Lived. Lewis speculated Lincoln might have succeeded in Reconstruction by forming an entirely new political party.

It's an interesting speech, and in 2013 Rob kindly sent me the text. I have uploaded it here. Lewis' thoughts on Lincoln possibly forming a new political party begin on p.28.
