Essays from the Journal of the Lincoln Association

Beschreibung

This volume brings together the most informative and thoughtful articles by fourteen accomplished scholars in the Lincoln field. The essays provide compact, detailed treatments of different facets of three general themes: Lincoln and the problems of emancipation, Lincoln and presidential politics, and the Lincoln legacy. Lincoln's views on race are of central interest, and these essays engage that issue from a variety of perspectives. This book offers, both to the scholarly community and to the general public, the writings of such luminaries as John Hope Franklin, James M. McPherson, Don E. Fehrenbacher, T. Harry Williams, Phillip S. Paludan, Harold Hyman, John Niven, William A. Gienapp, Norman B. Ferris, John T. Hubbell, Arthur Zilversmit, Eugene H. Berwanger, Christopher N. Breiseth, and Michael Vorenberg. College and university introductory courses will find this book a valuable summary of, and introduction to, the major issues of the Civil War period.
