The Crooked Path to Abolition: Abraham Lincoln and the Antislavery Constitution by James Oakes

4.0

A good summary of the winding path Lincoln walked toward abolition and a belief in racial equality. Oakes does a good job looking at Lincoln's record with a fair mind, and illuminates the way that Lincoln utilized numerous, varying strategies to achieve abolition, which was always a goal for him.
