Lincoln, Cobden, and Bright: The Braid of Liberalism in the Nineteenth Century’s Transatlantic World

Abraham Lincoln is usually described as a purely American, almost provincial, figure. But his ideas and wartime policies should also be understood in a transatlantic context, since Lincoln’s ideas and policies conform so remarkably to the patterns of classical liberal ideas in Europe in the nineteenth century, and especially to the Manchester School of Richard Cobden and John Bright. In contrast to the failures and disappointments of Continental liberalism, Lincoln’s triumph in the American Civil War represents a world historical victory for bourgeois liberal democracy.
