Joaquim Aurélio Barreto Nabuco de Araújo (1849-1910) was a Brazilian writer, statesman, diplomat and a leading voice in the abolitionist movement of his country.
A friend of the famous Brazilian writer Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, Nabuco began his public fight against slavery through his political activity and in his writings. He campaigned against slavery in the Chamber of Deputies from 1878, and he founded the Brazilian Anti-Slavery Society. In 1883, he wrote probably the most important work against slavery in the Portuguese language: O Abolicionismo. He later became the first Brazilian ambassador in the United States from 1905 to 1910, which marked a significant shift in his country's role in the world arena. Nabuco realized the importance for Brazil, and other South American nations, to develop a united relationship with the North American stage.
Lincoln's World Influence, the writing by Joaquim Nabuco that we are offering our readers today, is based on the speech he gave, as Brazilian ambassador to the United States of America, at the fourteenth annual banquet of the Lincoln Republican Club and the Young Men's Republican Club of Grand Rapids, on February 12, 1906.
