What is Abraham Lincoln's Speech At Independence Hall?
Mr. Cuyler:�I am filled with deep emotion at finding myself standing here in the place where were collected together the wisdom, the patriotism, the devotion to principle, from which sprang the institutions under which we live. You have kindly suggested to me that in my hands is the task of restoring peace to our distracted country. I can say in return, sir, that all the political sentiments I entertain have been drawn, so far as I have been able to draw them, from the sentiments which originated, and were given to the world from this hall in which we stand. I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence. (Great cheering.) I have often pondered over the dangers which were incurred by the men who assembled here and adopted that Declaration of Independence�I have pondered over the toils that were endured by the officers and soldiers of the army, who achieved that Independence. (Applause.) I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the mother land; but something in that Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time. (Great applause.) It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance. (Cheers.) This is the sentiment embodied in that Declaration of Independence.Now, my friends, can this country be saved upon that basis? If it can, I will consider myself one of the happiest men in the world if I can help to save it. If it can�t be saved upon that principle, it will be truly awful. But, if this country cannot be saved without giving up that principle�I was about to say I would rather be assassinated on this spot than to surrender it. (Applause.)Now, in my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the Government. The Government will not use force unless force is used against it. (Prolonged applause and cries of "That�s the proper sentiment.")My friends, this is a wholly unprepared speech. I did not expect to be called upon to say a word when I came here�I supposed I was merely to do something towards raising a flag. I may, therefore, have said something indiscreet, (cries of "no, no"), but I have said nothing but what I am willing to live by, and, in the pleasure of Almighty God, die by.
How did Enlightenment thinking influence the Declaration of Independence?
The American Revolution itself has been called the embodiment of Enlightenment ideas and the Declaration is the document that embodies the American revolution. They affected the Declaration of Independence with Enlightenment ideas. One significant one is the "social contract." The social contract entailed that the subjects of the King had a right, a duty to overthrow him. Another Enlightenment idea was that of the "consent of the governed." Enlightenment thinkers began to reject the idea of a monarchy, and instead preferred a government in which decisions were made when the ruler had consent of the governed - meaning that the governed people actually had a say in the politics of their society.
