About this title

Synopsis:

One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of our greatest president.

No single official paper in American history changed the lives of as many Americans as Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. But no American document has been held up to greater suspicion. Its bland and lawyerlike language is unfavorably compared to the soaring eloquence of the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural; its effectiveness in freeing the slaves has been dismissed as a legal illusion. And for some African-Americans the Proclamation raises doubts about Lincoln himself.

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation dispels the myths and mistakes surrounding the Emancipation Proclamation and skillfully reconstructs how America's greatest president wrote the greatest American proclamation of freedom.

About the Author:

President (1999) and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of

Store Description

To us, and hopefully to you as well, a book isn?t a commodity, it?s an idea. Even more than an idea, it?s an embodiment of an idea in physical form. There?s a whole philosophical spiel we could get into, but I?ll save that for later. Suffice to say, welcome and stop by once in awhile, we might have something interesting four you! Also feel free to reach out if you have something to sell. We buy books all the time.
