More than any other scholar, Eric Foner has influenced our
understanding of America's history. Now, making brilliant use of
extraordinary evidence, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian once
again reconfigures the national saga of American slavery and
freedom. A deeply entrenched institution, slavery lived on legally
and commercially even in the northern states that had abolished it
after the American Revolution. Slaves could be found in the streets
of New York well after abolition, traveling with owners doing
business with the city's major banks, merchants, and manufacturers.
New York was also home to the North's largest free black community,
making it a magnet for fugitive slaves seeking refuge. Slave
catchers and gangs of kidnappers roamed the city, seizing free
blacks, often children, and sending them south to slavery. To
protect fugitives and fight kidnappings, the city's free blacks
worked with white abolitionists to organize the New York Vigilance
Committee in 1835. In the 1840s vigilance committees proliferated
throughout the North and began collaborating to dispatch fugitive
slaves from the upper South, Washington, and Baltimore, through
Philadelphia and New York, to Albany, Syracuse, and Canada. These
networks of antislavery resistance, centered on New York City,
became known as the underground railroad. Forced to operate in
secrecy by hostile laws, courts, and politicians, the city's
underground-railroad agents helped more than 3,000 fugitive slaves
reach freedom between 1830 and 1860. Until now, their stories have
remained largely unknown, their significance little understood.
Building on fresh evidence-including a detailed record of slave
escapes secretly kept by Sydney Howard Gay, one of the key
organizers in New York-Foner elevates the underground railroad from
folklore to sweeping history. The story is inspiring-full of
memorable characters making their first appearance on the
historical stage-and significant-the controversy over fugitive
slaves inflamed the sectional crisis of the 1850s. It eventually
took a civil war to destroy American slavery, but here at last is
the story of the courageous effort to fight slavery by "practical
abolition," person by person, family by family.

The Declaration of Independence announced equality as an American
ideal but it took the Civil War and the adoption of three
constitutional amendments to establish that ideal as law. The
Reconstruction amendments abolished slavery, guaranteed due process
and the equal protection of the law, and equipped black men with
the right to vote. By grafting the principle of equality onto the
Constitution, the amendments marked the second founding of the
United States. Eric Foner conveys the dramatic origins of these
revolutionary amendments and explores the court decisions that then
narrowed and nullified the rights guaranteed in these amendments.
Today, issues of birthright citizenship, voting rights, due process
and equal protection are still in dispute; the ideal of equality
yet to be achieved.

In this landmark work of deep scholarship and insight, Eric Foner
gives us the definitive history of Lincoln and the end of slavery
in America. Foner begins with Lincoln's youth in Indiana and
Illinois and follows the trajectory of his career across an
increasingly tense and shifting political terrain from Illinois to
Washington, D.C. Although "naturally anti-slavery" for as long as
he can remember, Lincoln scrupulously holds to the position that
the Constitution protects the institution in the original slave
states. But the political landscape is transformed in 1854 when the
Kansas-Nebraska Act makes the expansion of slavery a national
issue. A man of considered words and deliberate actions, Lincoln
navigates the dynamic politics deftly, taking measured steps, often
along a path forged by abolitionists and radicals in his party.
Lincoln rises to leadership in the new Republican Party by
calibrating his politics to the broadest possible antislavery
coalition. As president of a divided nation and commander in chief
at war, displaying a similar compound of pragmatism and principle,
Lincoln finally embraces what he calls the Civil War's "fundamental
and astounding" result: the immediate, uncompensated abolition of
slavery and recognition of blacks as American citizens. Foner's
Lincoln emerges as a leader, one whose greatness lies in his
capacity for moral and political growth through real engagement
with allies and critics alike. This powerful work will transform
our understanding of the nation's greatest president and the issue
that mattered most.

"The American Radical" tells the story of American democracy from
the late 18th century to the present, through the lives of the
women and men who have fought to advance it. The original
biographical portraits presented in this collection show how, in
every period of history, Americans from various backgrounds have
stood as activists, authors and artists to challenge the powerful.
The editors have assembled a group of writers on the radical
tradition, who introduce the movements, ideas and struggles of the
revolutionaries, rebels and reformers important to the American
national experience; they include independence fighters,
Labourists, suffragists, socialists, feminists, pacifists,
environmentalists, and campaigners for social justice and the civil
rights of the oppressed.
Selected as a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times Book
Review, this landmark work gives us a definitive account of
Lincoln's lifelong engagement with the nation's critical issue:
American slavery. A master historian, Eric Foner draws Lincoln and
the broader history of the period into perfect balance. We see
Lincoln, a pragmatic politician grounded in principle, deftly
navigating the dynamic politics of antislavery, secession, and
civil war. Lincoln's greatness emerges from his capacity for moral
and political growth.
