Fiery Trial - Foner Eric
In a landmark work of deep scholarship and insight, Eric Foner gives us a life of Lincoln as it intertwined with slavery, the defining issue of the time and the tragic hallmark of American history. Lincoln navigated this dynamic political landscape deftly, often on a path forged by abolitionists and radicals in his party. As the nation expanded into new western territories and economic pursuits, the continuing strength of slavery spawned a new and divisive politics.
Foner's Lincoln is a leader whose greatness lay in his capacity for moral and political growth. Lincoln's personal and political journey led him finally to embrace what he called the Civil War's "astounding" result - the immediate, uncompensated abolition of slavery - and recognition of blacks as American citizens.
