An in-depth account of Abraham Lincoln's thought and politics focuses on his contradictory treatment of black Americans in matters of slavery in the South and basic civil rights in the North, revealing how Lincoln's firm abolitionist ideas were balanced by his commitment to the rights of the states and the limitations of federal power.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Cruel, merciful; peace-loving, a fighter; despising Negroes and letting them fight and vote; protecting slavery and freeing slaves. Abraham Lincoln was, W. E. B. Du Bois declared, big enough to be inconsistent. Big enough, indeed, for every generation to have its own Lincolnunifier or emancipator, egalitarian or racist. In an effort to reconcile these views, and to offer a more complex and nuanced account of a figure so central to American history, this book focuses on the most controversial aspect of Lincolns thought and politicshis attitudes and actions regarding slavery and race. Drawing attention to the limitations of Lincolns judgment and policies without denying his magnitude, the book provides the most comprehensive and even-handed account available of Lincolns contradictory treatment of black Americans in matters of slavery in the South and basic civil rights in the North. George Fredrickson shows how Lincolns antislavery convictions, however genuine and strong, were held in check by an equally strong commitment to the rights of the states and the limitations of federal power. He explores how Lincolns beliefs about racial equality in civil rights, stirred and strengthened by the African American contribution to the northern war effort, were countered by his conservative constitutional philosophy, which left this matter to the states. The Lincoln who emerges from these pages is far more comprehensible and credible in his inconsistencies, and in the abiding beliefs and evolving principles from which they arose. Deeply principled but nonetheless flawed, all-too-human yet undeniably heroic, he is a Lincoln for all generations. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR003793023
