Description:Excerpt from The Lincoln Centenary, February 12, 1909: As Celebrated in New York City and Other Historic CentersThe ever since vexed question of negro suffrage never came befo1e Abraham Lin coln in full form. He thought that suf fr'age within states belonged to states, and that the Southern States were in the Union, because they had failed to get out of it. He suggested, ' in a letter as to Louisiana, in which reconstruction or-re occupation had first been effected, that the experiment might be made of intrust ing with suffrage negroes of good charac ter and fair-knowledge, as well as those who had honorably served in the army or navy of the Union. The suggestion was lost in the subsequent action of Congress toward such suffrage. The further treat ment of the subject within the states acutely affected by it does not concern a discussion of Abraham Lincoln, who passed to his account before the subject became acute and dividing. In Illinois, long before the war, Mr. Lincoln was charged by Stephen A. Douglas with fa voring the admission of the negroes in ihat state and in the territory of Kansas to the ballot, on the same conditions as those accorded to or required of whites. Mr. Lincoln squarely denied the charge, and Mr. Douglas retracted it. The Fit tecuin Amendment -to the Constitution was not proposed during Mr. Lincoln's presidency, and was not declared to be adopted until several years after his death.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
