Description

How could a country founded on the belief that “all men are created equal”

tolerate slavery? Was the “United States” truly one nation, or was it a confederacy

of separate states? Did President Abraham Lincoln act justly to protect the civil

liberties of citizens when acting to preserve the Union? These questions and more

were examined in Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War.
