“Here’s a book of evidence: Father Abraham: Lincoln’s Relentless Struggle to End Slavery”
I have not read the book so I ask: Does the book make the case that President Lincoln fought to free the slaves?
Yes, it does. The author shows Lincoln at work in a situation that limited what was possible. Thanks for asking.
By the way, before he came of age, Lincoln was rented out to local farmers, etc. by his father, who apparently kept all his wages. Lincoln said about this: “I was once a slave.” However, he thought many people start out at the command of others. The glory of this country is that, except for the black slaves, it allows people to work their way up and to become free.
