M. Eddy is a historical account written shortly after the assassination of President Lincoln in the mid-19th century. This discourse, delivered at a Union meeting in Waukegan, Illinois, addresses Lincoln's leadership qualities, his dedication to preserving the Union, and the moral righteousness of his actions, particularly regarding the issue of slavery. Positioned in the context of the tragic national mourning following Lincoln's death, the book serves as an eloquent tribute to a leader whose life and death deeply resonated with the American populace. In the discourse, Rev. Eddy reflects on Lincoln’s character and the profound impact he had on the nation during one of its most turbulent periods. He emphasizes Lincoln’s integrity, mental clarity, and dedication to the principles of democracy, particularly the belief in freedom for all men. Eddy outlines four guiding principles of Lincoln's presidency: the indivisibility of the Union, government accountability to the people, the right to freedom for every individual, and reliance on divine guidance. The discourse also captures the profound grief felt across the nation following Lincoln’s assassination, imploring listeners to remember his legacy while continuing the fight for justice and equality. Eddy's eloquent orations provide both a historical context and a moral framework for appreciating Lincoln's role in shaping the United States during a time of conflict and change.
