Quarles' fellow historian, Garry Wills, wrote that it was Lincoln's genius to use the address to transform the ugly reality of the battlefield into something rich and strange, giving the nation a "new birth of freedom" to set against the horror, missed chances and muddle of the war.Yet, it was Quarles who broke new ground in understanding how Lincoln evolved as a historic figure.

ONE OF THE REASONS African-American history is today regarded as a legitimate and serious field of study is Benjamin A. Quarles, who died over the weekend at 92. The Morgan State University history professor was a meticulous and uncompromising researcher, who authored such seminal works as "The Negro in the American Revolution" (1961) and "The Negro in the Making of America" (1964).But even though his scholarship earned him honorary doctorates from 17 universities, Dr. Quarles was always aware of the wider context of his achievements.

Benjamin A. Quarles was a towering figure not only at Morgan State University, where he taught history for nearly 40 years, but also on the national scene: He was one of the country's foremost African-American historians and had written a critically acclaimed biography of Frederick Douglass. As one of the pioneers in the study of modern African-American history, he was certainly an heir to scholar Carter G. Woodson. "It's too bad that Carter G. Woodson, who was a pioneer in the field, never lived to see the promised land," he told the News American in a 1983 interview.
