Description
"Lincoln of Kentucky emphasizes the particular skill and delicacy with which Lincoln handled the problems of a loyal slave state populated by a large number of Confederate sympathizers.". "Lincoln urged the commonwealth to adopt a scheme of gradual, compensated emancipation, a position so unpopular that Kentucky voted for George B. McClellan in the 1864 presidential election, one of only three states to do so. It was not until decades later that Kentuckians fully recognized Lincoln's greatness and paid homage to their native son."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
President Abraham Lincoln spent part of April 14, 1865, consulting with his cabinet on ways to restore the Southern states to their rightful place in the Union as quickly as possible.
