COVER STORY
Our Lincoln
If Abraham Lincoln’s bicentennial laurels are not being plucked from conservative trees, this is not through any fault of Lincoln’s. From his earliest political stirrings in the 1830s, Lincoln was a torchbearer for free markets, individual liberty and economic mobility, the rule of law, natural rights, and prudence in governing.
By Allen C. Guelzo
