Lincoln believed that defining America’s place in the world was at the core of the Union’s mission. The “central idea” of the Northern effort, he explained, was to prove “that popular government is not an absurdity.”

As an ambitious young politician in Springfield, Lincoln cultivated the support of the powerful Edwards family, which held weekly salons where guests were greeted in French.

Mary Todd Lincoln had grown up in a Kentucky house adorned with French mahogany furniture and Belgian rugs. She attended a boarding school run by Parisian aristocrats who had fled the country in the aftermath of the French Revolution.
