Facing criticism for arresting Southern sympathizers, #AbrahamLincoln wrote a long defense of his policies. He pointed out that the Constitution specifically allows normal legal protections to be lifted during a rebellion. #AbeSays #CivilWar Source: ow.ly/Guqz50W87TL

Today in 1929, Jessie De Priest, wife of an Illinois congressman, had tea with First Lady Lou Hoover. The site of a Black woman at the White House enraged bigots. One said it represented "infinite danger to our white civilization." #ILhistory #CivilRights ow.ly/CIFj50Shg28

👔 #FathersDay isn’t always picture-perfect. For Abraham Lincoln, the relationship with his father was strained, distant… complicated. See how that bond — or lack of it — helped shape the man, the leader, and the father he became. #ALPLM #AbrahamLincoln #LincolnLegacy

Walt Whitman, one of America's greatest poets, saw the #CivilWar's impact firsthand as a nurse. After #AbrahamLincoln's death, he wrote the elegies "O Captain! My Captain!" and "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd". #PrideMonth #Pride2025 Info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Whit…

In his famous "House Divided" speech, #AbrahamLincoln presented #slavery as a fundamental threat to America but predicted the Republican Party ultimately would keep it from tearing America apart. #AbeSays Source: ow.ly/eKM850W9OyH

📜 #OnThisDay in 1858, #AbrahamLincoln declared: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Some saw it as a call for war — but he was warning that freedom and slavery couldn’t coexist. He lost the Senate race… but the speech helped make him president. #ALPLM #ILHistory
