Opis

Abraham Lincoln was not among those Americans who, decades before the Civil War, favoured immediate emancipation of all slaves inside the US. Those who did were the abolitionists - the men and women who sought freedom and equal rights for all African Americans. Stanley Harrold traces how, despite Lincoln's political distance from abolitionists, they influenced his evolving political orientation.
