In preparation of our “We The People” national competition, I read “Arguing About Slavery” by William Lee Miller, “Who Freed the Slaves” by Leonard Richards and “Lincoln and the 13th Amendment” by Christian Samito. I learned a whole lot more about the political dimensions of the abolition movement than I ever knew. We had an Emancipation Proclamation/13th Amendment question, so it was sort of important to catch up on this.

Today we celebrate the crash of the steamboat
Effie Afton, as described by Carl Sandburg, and the aftermath. Abraham Lincoln had put aside his political interests to work at his regular day job.
