New York, N. Y Simon & Schuster 2008 1st Simon & Schuster Hardcover Ed. [Stated]. First printing Hardcover Don Pollard (Author photograph) Very good in Very good jacket x, [2], 623, [5] pages. Illustrations. Includes Introduction; Part One, The Promise of Something Better; and Part Two, The Momentous Issue of Civil War. Also includes What Became of...? ; Acknowledgments, Notes, and Index. A chronicle of the four months between Lincoln's election and inauguration evaluates the period decisions he made regarding slavery, secession, and the possibility of a Civil War, in an account that also offers insight into the selections of his cabinet members. Abraham Lincoln first demonstrated his determination and leadership in the Great Secession Winter--the months between his election in November 1860 and his inauguration in March 1861--when he rejected compromises urged on him by Republicans and Democrats, Northerners and Southerners, that might have preserved the Union a little longer, but would have enshrined slavery for generations. Though Lincoln has been criticized by many historians for failing to appreciate the severity of the secession crisis that greeted his victory, Holzer shows that the president-elect waged a shrewd and complex campaign to prevent the expansion of slavery while trying to limit secession to a few Deep South states. Through limited, brilliantly timed and crafted public statements, determined private letters, tough political pressure, and personal ...

Spine slightly rolled at the crown. Age toning. Fine DJ. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. "One of our most eminent Lincoln scholars, winner of a Lincoln Prize for his Lincoln at Cooper Union, examines the four months between Lincoln's election and inauguration, when the president-elect made the most important decision of his coming presidency -- there would be no compromise on slavery or secession of the slaveholding states, even at the cost of civil war. Abraham Lincoln first demonstrated his determination and leadership in the Great Secession Winter -- the four months between his election in November 1860 and his inauguration in March 1861 -- when he rejected compromises urged on him by Republicans and Democrats, Northerners and Southerners, that might have preserved the Union a little longer but would have enshrined slavery for generations. Though Lincoln has been criticized by many historians for failing to appreciate the severity of the secession crisis that greeted his victory, Harold Holzer shows that the presidentelect waged a shrewd and complex campaign to prevent the expansion of slavery while vainly trying to limit secession to a few Deep South states. During this most dangerous White House transition in American history, ...

ISBN10: 0743289471, ISBN13: 9780743289474, [publisher: Simon & Schuster] Hardcover Likely book club edition. Hardbound book condition: good. Dust jacket condition: very good. Dust jacket very good except at top spine which is creased; black boards very good except for damage at top spine where it seems to have been dropped, gilt titles bright; sewn binding sound; pages near fine, plates fine. 623 pages; 9.5 X 6.3 X 1.3; 2 lbs. 6.5 oz. shipping weight. Between Lincoln's election in November 1860 and his inauguration the following March there lay a near interminable four and one half months. During this period, one southern state after another seceded from the Union while President Buchanan did nothing. As Holzer points out, Lincoln has often been chided for Buchanan's sin, somehow failing to realize that a president-elect could only stand by and witness the damage done to the country, like some ineffectual ghost. Holzer goes far towards correcting this unjustified criticism while examining one of the most fascinating periods of American history. [Longbranch, WA, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2008]
