AbstractAbraham Lincoln's most significant political years coincided with a time when many Germans were immigrating to America, and made an effort to court this large ethnic bloc. "According to Carl Sandberg, one of Lincoln's biographers, by the early 1850s Lincoln carried a German grammar book with him, took a night school class in German in Springfield, and made friends with important German immigrants."
