Lincoln the Lawyer
ISBN: 9780252076145 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This fascinating history explores Abraham Lincoln's legal career, investigating the origins of his desire to practice law, his legal education, his partnerships with John Stuart, Stephen Logan, and William Herndon, and the maturation of his far-flung practice in the 1840s and 1850s. Brian Dirck also examines Lincoln's clientele, how he charged his clients, and how he addressed judge and jury, as well as his views on legal ethics and the supposition that he never defended a client he knew to be guilty.

Lincoln Emancipated
ISBN: 9780875803593 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Abraham Lincoln has long been revered by blacks and whites alike as the "Great Emancipator." In recent years, however, this image has come under assault by scholars who question Lincoln's commitment to racial equality and who assert that he was in fact, as Frederick Douglass once noted, the "white man's president." Such arguments challenging deep-seated assumptions about our nation's most beloved leader demand serious investigation. What personal beliefs did Lincoln hold about the inherent differences or similarities between blacks and whites? How did his vision for race relations change as a...

Abraham Lincoln and White America
ISBN: 9780700621118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As "Savior of the Union" and the "Great Emancipator," Abraham Lincoln has been lauded for his courage, wisdom, and moral fiber. Yet Frederick Douglass's assertion that Lincoln was the "white man's president" has been used by some detractors as proof of his fundamentally racist character. Viewed objectively, Lincoln was a white man's president by virtue of his own whiteness and that of the culture that produced him. Until now, however, historians have rarely explored just what this means for our understanding of the man and his actions. Writing at the vanguard of "whiteness studies," Brian...

Lincoln and Davis: Imagining America, 1809-1865
ISBN: 9780700611379 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Abraham Lincoln: the Great Emancipator, savior of the Union, and revered national hero. Jefferson Davis: defender of slavery, leader of a lost cause, and forlorn object of scorn. Both Lincoln and Davis remain locked in the American psyche as iconic symbols of victory and defeat. They presided over a terrible war that decided the fate of slavery and severely tested each man's resolve and potential for greatness. But, as Brian Dirck shows, such images tend to obscure the larger visions that compelled both men to pursue policies and actions that resulted in such a devastating national tragedy....
