Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the life and achievements of Abraham Lincoln, whose simple Kentucky childhood belied his rise as a renowned American President. Lincoln's childhood was humble, but building on the wisdom of his local community, he achieved the Presidency at a time of great national division. His wit and strength of character gained him popular favor, and his handling of the American Civil War while facing political strife in his cabinet and foreign opposition would cement his legacy as one of the nation's greatest leaders. This book explores Lincoln's belief in equality and his pursuit of this ideal, particularly in regards to slavery and the division of the states. Analyzing speeches and letters throughout Lincoln's career, the author reveals the depth of Lincoln's wisdom and his ability to inspire a nation through even the darkest times.
