How did President Abraham Lincoln come to believe that slavery
was "morally wrong," and that Congress needed to pass a law to
abolish it once and for all? What did he do in January 1865--three
months before he was assassinated--to ensure passage of the
Thirteenth Amendment?
This fast-paced, riveting book answers these questions and more
as it tells the story of Lincoln's life and times from his
upbringing in Kentucky and Illinois, through his work as a lawyer
and congressman, to his candidacies and victory in two Presidential
elections. It also describes Lincoln's duties in the Civil War as
Commander-in-Chief, his actions as President, and his relationships
with his family, his political allies and rivals, and the public
who voted for and against him. Harold Holzer makes an important era
in American history come alive for readers of all ages.
An official companion to Steven Spielberg's Oscar(R)
award-winning film Lincoln, the book also includes thirty
historical photographs, a chronology, a cast of characters, texts
of selected Lincoln writings and speeches, a bibliography, and a
foreword by the author about his experience working as a consultant
on the movie.
