Publisher's Synopsis
Political polls frequently show a grave lack of trust in the leaders of both main parties at the federal level as well as the unsettling perception that the country's present policy initiatives are headed in the wrong direction. These opinions give rise to unsatisfactory analyses of supposed democratic institution and proposal failures.
Fortunately, Dr. Kimberly B. Carter has stepped up at this point in our history with a thorough examination of 1860s politics and, most crucially, the political genius Abraham Lincoln who guided our nation through a number of dangerous crises and onto new roads of confidence and greatness.
From 1861 until his murder in 1865, Abraham Lincoln, an American lawyer and statesman, was the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln successfully led the country through the American Civil War and was able to preserve the Union, abolitionize slavery, strengthen the federal government, and modernize the American economy.
You will discover:
- What legacies Abraham Lincoln left behind and impact that he had that elevated him above other US presidents.
- American political culture.
- How Lincoln impacted America.
And a lot more...
Anyone interested in Abraham Lincoln and his presidency should have a copy of this brilliantly written and carefully researched book in their bookshelf.
