"Gettysburg Cyclorama" (detail), Paul Philippoteaux (1863)


From Comments On The North American Events (1862):

"Lincoln is not the product of a popular revolution. This plebeian, who worked his way tip from stone-breaker to Senator in Illinois, without intellectual brilliance, without a particularly outstanding character, without exceptional importance-an average person of good will, was placed at the top by the interplay of the forces of universal suffrage unaware of the great issues at stake. The new world has never achieved a greater triumph than by this demonstration that, given its political and social organisation, ordinary people of good will can accomplish feats which only heroes could accomplish in the old world."

Whats the overall saying?

Im sorry. I don't quite understand. Could you rephrase the question?
