In this excerpt, the author implies that Lincoln changed his demeanor in order to succeed in politics, and he may not always have been his most sincere self.  McClay notes that Lincoln was a “country-boy” who changed his personality to become a “wise, prudent leader.” He begins a paragraph describing Lincoln as a man full of “dry, tall tales,” then discusses how today, he’s ”revered for his combination of faith and modesty” as a man ”who sought to do God’s work.” The way McClay structures this stark contrast, the somewhat sarcastic tone he takes when describing the perception of the political Lincoln as “demigod,” and the “more human” words he uses to describe the real, private Lincoln suggest that the former president may have been somewhat disingenuous or hidden his real self as a politician.
