Description

Among white northerners generally, far more opposed emancipation, even at war's end, than supported black equality. Paul Escott places Lincoln squarely in that world, shows how he moved along the spectrum of racial views, and how he struggled, inside and out, at every step along the way. This book, together with his previous work, establishes Escott as this generation's leading scholar on Lincoln and the problem of racism in Civil War America.--H. David Williams, Valdosta State University, author of "I Freed Myself: African American Self-Emancipation in the Civil War Era".
