About this listen

As America marks the 217th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, this episode of Roots, Rights & Reason examines why Lincoln should be understood as a world historical leader. Host Lee Smith speaks with author Lee Harris about how Lincoln recognized that the Civil War was not only about preserving the Union, but about protecting the future of popular government itself.

At a time when republics were collapsing worldwide, Lincoln defended the principle that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” As Harris notes, Lincoln meant exactly that, not just for America, but for the world.

This episode explores Lincoln’s global significance, the survival of self government, and what leadership looks like in moments of national crisis.
