Lincoln's Assassination
ISBN: 9780809333493 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For 150 years, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln has fascinated the American people.

For a century and a half, Abraham Lincoln's signing of the Emancipation Proclamation has been the dominant narrative of African American freedom in the Civil War era.

By the second year of the war, though, when the Union army was in desperate need of black...
