Lincoln and slavery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This biography is very readable focusing on the problems of slavery and preserving the Union. Lincoln was ardently against slavery but knew he had to have the trust of the slave states also in order to preserve the Union and ultimately ban slavery in all states. The book reveals the personal agony and deep thought that went into the complex decisions that were mainly on him alone. It is appropriate for readers from upper elementary into adulthood.
