Though he must often have been at the end of his resources, he always displayed an inspiring confidence, and in him was highly developed that rare char- acteristic of winning men to his side. Such a hero would naturally have a strong attrac- tion for the American citizens of German birth of his time, most of whom — I need only mention the greatest among them, Carl Schurz — were so consumed with the passion of liberty that they came here in search of free- dom, after the political movement of 18...48 had failed to give our own nation the unity and liberal institutions which we now enjoy. It will always be a proud boast of the American i6 Lincoln as Germany Regarded Him citizens of German extraction that in their an- cestors the immortal Lincoln had as strong supporters as ev^ championed the cause of a leader. When Lincoln had, to use his own words, to accept war for a worthy subject, he found the same support on the part of the Americans of German birth. During the Civil War there were, according to the records of the Ameri- can Sanitary Commission, 187,158 Germans, born in Germany, enlisted in the different regiments of the Northern States.
