269 political beliefs rested: After the Civil War, Alexander H. Stephens wrote that Lincoln's devotion to the Union rose to the sublimity of religious mysticism, and his phrase has often been echoed by historians. See esp. Edmund Wilson's brilliant essay on Lincoln in Patriotic Gore: Studies in the Literature of the American Civil War (New York: Oxford University Press, 1962), pp. 99130. But in reviewing a draft of the present book, Mark E. Neely, Jr., pointed out that Stephens's phrase was intended not as praise of Lincoln but as criticism of an unrealistic belief. There was, Neely suggests, little that was mystical in Lincoln's thinking about the Union, which he valued for realistic, tough-minded reasons.
