Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Throughout his political career, Franklin Roosevelt makes numerous appeals to the Lincoln example and claims that he is continuing in a Lincolnian tradition, in which the purpose of government is to help the governed to meet new challenges as they arise. Roosevelt will come to label Abraham Lincoln a proto-New Deal democrat, appropriating Lincoln into the New Deal rhetoric as a �liberal� politician to be included alongside Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, and Teddy Roosevelt. In the rhetoric of the New Deal, Franklin Roosevelt would provide an important step in the incorporation of the Lincoln image into the modern rhetoric of equality. Like the progressives before him, FDR will further the movement from formal equality of opportunity to what is arguably an open-ended modern egalitarianism. FDR would praise Lincoln�s statesmanship, characterizing Lincoln as �a character destined to transfuse with new meaning the concepts of our constitutional fathers and to assure a government having for its broad purpose the promotion of the life, liberty and happiness of all the people." On a course cleared by the progressive movement, FDR will connect the Lincoln image to a new, expanded pursuit of equality, a �redefinition of rights� ultimately divorced from the natural rights principles and constitutionalism that informed Lincoln�s statesmanship.
