Pivotal events, decisions, and issues in Lincoln's private and public life are scrutinized and explained clearly by noted historian James A. Rawley.

Race and Politics: Bleeding Kansas and the Coming of the Civil War
ISBN: 9780803289017 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Race and Politics offers an analysis of the controversies that followed the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. The question of whether the still unsettled Kansas Territory should be slave or free divided the nation into hostile and ultimately irreconcilable camps, creating conditions that only civil war could resolve. The author demonstrates, however, that the fundamental issue was not slavery as such but race: whether the country, its egalitarian slogans notwithstanding, could tolerate the expansion of African Americans, slave or free. "Rawley in his introduction, a semi-apologia, questions...

The Life of Abraham Lincoln
ISBN: 9780803259249 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 471 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Abraham Lincoln "was a tall, spare man, with large bones, and towering up to six feet and four inches. He leaned forward, and stooped as he walked. . . . There was no grace in his movements, but an expression of awkwardness, combined with force and vigor. By nature he was diffident, and when in crowds, not speaking and conscious of being observed, he seemed to shrink with bashfulness. . . . His forehead was broad and high, his hair was rather stiff and coarse, and nearly black, his eye-brows heavy, his eyes dark grey, clear, very expressive, and varying with every mood, now sparkling with...

The Politics of Union: Northern Politics During the Civil War
ISBN: 9780803289024 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The best general account of politics in the North, as David Herbert Donald calls this book, is also the first one-volume history of its subject. Abraham Lincoln s single goal of saving the Union required not simply subduing the South but contending as well with divisiveness in the North with refractory state officials, draft resisters, peace advocates, secret organizations, with Northern Democrats (too often seen only as Copperheads or as traitors to the Union), and with powerful Republicans who often vocally disagreed with Lincoln s policies. In this account, Radical Republicans represent...

Of course I have done this upon what appear to me to be sufficient reasons. And yet I think it best for you to know that there are some things in regard to which, I am not quite satisfied with you. With this opening sentence in a two-page letter from Abraham Lincoln, Union general Joseph Hooker (1814 79) gained a prominent place in Civil War history. Hooker assumed command of an army demoralized by defeat and diminished by desertion. Acting swiftly, the general reorganized his army, routed corruption among quartermasters, improved food...
