Summary "The Papers and Writings of Abraham Lincoln — Volume 7: 1863-1865" by Abraham Lincoln is a collection of historical documents and writings that provides insight into the thoughts and decisions of Lincoln during the last years of the American Civil War, specifically compiled in the mid-19th century. This volume covers significant communications, proclamations, and reflections that reveal Lincoln's handling of military strategy, political issues, and social reforms, including the Emancipation Proclamation and its implications. The opening portion of the volume presents a series of letters, opinions, and communications from Lincoln dated from October 1863, detailing his reflections on military operations, including the loss of General Milroy's division and the potential for political violence during elections. Lincoln's correspondence addresses concerns regarding loyalty in military matters and the organization of state governments. Notably, he offers insights on military appointments, the application of laws regarding elections, and the necessity of protecting loyal citizens. This introductory segment sets the tone for a deeper exploration of Lincoln's pivotal role in shaping the nation during its most challenging times. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
