Title: What is education in a man's greatness?
Product review: On reflection, we see Lincoln as a man whose lack of formal education was followed by a lifetime of gradual steps of personal education. Rather than a man of great beliefs, we realize that he was a man who evolved in his beliefs, often driven to those beliefs by dire necessity. His early belief in the sanctity of the union of the country at any cost, even at the cost of the continuance of slavery was central to the stance he took into the Civil War. But, it was countered by a similar belief that slavery should not be allowed to spread into the newly emerging territories (soon to be states). When it became clear to him that he could not accomplish the latter without crushing slavery utterly, he gave up his earlier position.When we reflect on the early Lincoln, we see how carefully his life experiences, serving as his education, prepared him to be America's great Pragmatist, rather than its great Idealogue.
