HISTORY NOW Issue 18, December, 2008: Abraham Lincoln in His Time and Ours

As we look forward to the bicentennial of President Lincoln’s birthday in 2009, History Now (www.historynow.org) is fortunate to have four leading Lincoln scholars contribute their thoughts on the man who preserved the Union and took the first critical steps toward ending slavery in the United States. Taken together, these essays offer us a new lens through which to view the man, his political philosophy, his deeds, and his legacy.
