Njengoko sibhiyozela uSuku lukaMongameli, lixesha eligqibeleleyo lokujonga ezinye zeempawu zobunkokeli ezenze u-Abraham Lincoln ngomnye wabongameli abakhulu kwimbali yaseMelika. Ngelixa i-movie uLincoln ifumana indumiso ebalulekileyo, kutshanje ndiqalile ukuyifunda le ncwadi Iqela labadlali Umbhali ophumelele amabhaso kaPulitzer uDoris Kearns Goodwin, yenye yeencwadi ezibanzi malunga neLincoln kunye nobunkokheli bakhe obungaqhelekanga.

Iimpawu zobunkokeli zikaLincoln zime uvavanyo lwexesha kwaye ngelixa zingagqibelelanga njengenkokeli u-Abraham Lincoln ubonakalise ezi mpawu zilandelayo esinokuthi siqhubeke nokufunda kuzo.

ULincoln wayeqinisekile ngokwaneleyo kuye kunye nokukwazi kwakhe ukungena kwisangqa sakhe sangaphakathi uninzi lwabachasi bakhe ababezintshaba zakhe ezimbi ngaphambili. Abanye bala madoda, ingakumbi uWilliam Henry Seward (owayengoyena mntu wayeyimbangi enkulu ka-Lincoln ngo-1860 waze kamva waba ngu-Nobhala Welizwe) waba ngumcebisi wakhe othembekileyo. Zininzi iinkokeli ezingqonge ngabantu abaxelela inkokeli oko ifuna ukukuva kwaye bengakhuselekanga ngokwaneleyo ukuba bangenise ezinye iinkokeli ezomeleleyo, ngakumbi iimbangi zangaphambili.

Cinga eli nqaku elivela kwincwadi kaKearns Goodwin, equka indibanisela yeempawu zobunkokeli ezingaqhelekanga zikaLincoln

Iimpawu zakhe zobuqu zamenza wakwazi ukwakha ubuhlobo nabantu ababekhe bamchasa ngaphambili; ukulungisa iimvakalelo ezenzakeleyo ezinokuthi, xa zingashiywanga zinganyanyekelwa, zinokunyuka ziye kubundlobongela ngokusisigxina; ukuthatha uxanduva ngokusilela kwabo bangaphantsi, ukwabelana ngetyala ngokulula, kunye nokufunda kwiimpazamo.

Incwadi kaKearns Goodwin kunye nezinye iingxelo zembali zikaLincoln zizaliswe yimizekelo yokuzama kwakhe rhoqo ukufumana iindlela zokufumana umhlaba ofanayo nabo bamchasayo. Ngaphaya koko, uLincoln ubonakalise ubuchwephesha bobunkokheli bukaHarry Truman bokuma kweebhaksi apha rhoqo. Zininzi iinkokeli ezibanjelwe ukudlala umdlalo wokugxeka xa izinto zingahambi kakuhle, ngelixa uLincoln wabona iimpazamo ezenziwa ngabo bekwiqela lakhe njengoxanduva.

U-Lincoln wayezazi kakhulu njengoko uKearns Goodwin esitsho, oko kuthetha ukuba wayeqonda ukuba unakho ukuba notshintsho olukhulu kwiimvakalelo. Njengazo zonke iinkokheli, wayenokuba nomsindo, kodwa uLincoln wayenamandla angaqondakaliyo okuqonda ukuba indlela awathetha ngayo umsindo wakhe kwabo babemngqongile ibalulekile kwimpumelelo yakhe. Xa uLincoln wayenomsindo ngakumbi wayenomkhwa wokubhala ileta eya kumntu awayenomsindo kwaye eyibeka ecaleni, uhlala engayithumeli, kodwa endaweni yoko evakalisa ezo mvakalelo ephepheni. Ngapha koko, xa uLincoln wayethetha ngomlomo, wayeza kuzama ukusombulula imeko, engavumeli ukungqubana okungasonjululwanga ukuba kukhule.

Olunye lweempawu zobunkokeli ezibalaseleyo zikaLincoln yayiyimvo yokunyaniseka kunye nokukholelwa kwakhe kwimigaqo yakhe. Ngokucacileyo wayekulungele ukulalanisa; Nangona kunjalo, abo babemngqongile banokuqiniseka ukuba imigaqo-siseko yakhe ayizukutshintsha imihla ngemihla kuxhomekeka kwiimeko ezimngqongileyo okanye ukubonwa kwakhe okwaziwayo ngelo xesha. Obu bunkokeli bukhuthaza ukuthembeka, ukuzinikela nokuzithemba kwabo bakungqongileyo.

Ekugqibeleni, izakhono zonxibelelwano zikaLincoln zazingaqhelekanga. Wayengekho isidenge okanye isithethi esidlangalaleni. Ukongeza, uLincoln wenqaba ukuthetha esidlangalaleni ngaphandle kokubhaliweyo okulungiselelwe. Nangona kunjalo, esona sipho sikhulu sikaLincoln njengomnxibelelanisi yayikukuba uninzi lwabantu lwalukholelwa ekubeni u-HE wayekholelwa kwinto awayeyithetha. Ngeendlela ezininzi kulapho kwavela khona intetho ethembekileyo u-Abe. Xa abantu bekholelwa ukuba uyakholelwa, kuthetha lukhulu malunga namandla akho njengenkokeli yokubenza balandele.
