亚伯拉罕·林肯:美国制造,书3

亚伯拉罕·林肯:美国的是第三个历史传记泰瑞Kanefield让美国系列,其中包括亚历山大•汉密尔顿和安德鲁•杰克逊。这里,利用大量的研究在美国的生活和时代最受欢迎的政治英雄,Kanefield巧妙地解决了19世纪最重要的政治问题,包括奴隶制的扩张和保护,争论“州权”的意义和联邦权力,“自由和正义。”Following Lincoln from his troubled boyhood in a fractured family to his career as an accomplished lawyer and struggling politician, Kanefield paints a picture of a man who struggled with depression his entire life, had difficulty maintaining a balance between his devotion to work and his obligations to his family, and was unwilling or unable to fully support the cause of black freedom when it was not politically advantageous to do so. Still, over the course of his dizzying rise to national prominence, Lincoln shrewdly negotiated the incredible tensions that tore apart the nation and eventually led to the Civil War. The details of Lincoln's personal life and career trajectory are supplemented by clear, in-depth introductions to important laws, debates, and activists of his time, including Frederick Douglass and the abolition movement, Susan B. Anthony and the women's movement, and several of the landmark Supreme Court cases that protected and preserved slavery.
