Rather than a commitment to eradicating slavery or a defense of the Union, they argue that Lincoln's guiding principle was the defense of equal economic opportunity. Lincoln firmly believed that the government's primary role was to ensure that all Americans had the opportunity to better their station in life. As president, he worked tirelessly to enshrine this ideal within the federal government. He funded railroads and canals, supported education, and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which opened the door for former slaves to join white Americans in striving for self-improvement. In our own age of unprecedented inequality, A Just and Generous Nation reestablishes Lincoln's legacy as the protector not just of personal freedom but of the American dream itself. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Lincoln, Abraham,|d1809-1865|xPolitical and social views. 650 0 Equality|xEconomic aspects|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Economic development|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Social mobility|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xCauses. 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xEconomic aspects. 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xSocial aspects. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1861-1865. 700 1 Garfinkle, Norton,|d1931-|eauthor. 700 1 Press, Barry|q(Barry M.),|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11482521?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781504641982_180.jpeg
