Abraham Lincoln, A Real American - Daniel W. Hoan - 1936
Channel: ObscureAudioHistory
Date: 2023-01-11

Daniel W. Hoan, mayor of Milwaukee from 1916 to 1940, writes about the 16th president of the United States Abraham Lincoln. Most people will have a general knowledge about Abraham Lincolns involvement in the American Civil War, however Hoan writes more of his philosophy of class liberation. This pamphlet connects the revolutionary early Republican movement to the early American Socialist movement of Eugene V. Debs.
 Daniel W. Hoan was part of a long line of Socialist Mayors of Milwaukee Wisconsin. Daniel pushed progressive reforms, including the country's first public housing project, Garden Homes, which was started in 1923. He as well began one of, if not, the first Public bus services in the nation after a string of trolley car accidents. Hoan passed away on June 11, 1961, at the age of 80, from a heart ailment, in Milwaukee.
