英语词汇lincolniana的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Lincolniana It is surprising that only some 25 place-names in the United States honor our 16th president, little more than half those commemorating Jefferson and less than one-third of those named for Andrew Jackson. But this can be explained by bitterness toward Lincoln in the South. For none of his countrymen, not even Washington, has become a folk hero and giant in American tradition equal to Lincoln, and he is cer- tainly more loved and respected the world over than any other American. His story, from his birth in a Kentucky log cabin to the Emancipation Proclamation, the immortal Gettysburg Address, and the assassination by John Wilkes Booth, is so widely known in its smallest details that it is, rather than history or myth, a living part of the American legend from generation to generation, making Lincoln a father image to us all. Lincoln- ite designated a supporter of President Lincoln during the Civil War. Lincolniana is any material, such as writing, anecdotes, or objects, pertaining to him. Lincoln’s birthday, February 12, is a legal holiday in many states. See honest abe.
