A clash of images: great egalitarian or hard-core racist? -- Free soil, free labor, and free white men: the Illinois years -- Becoming an emancipator: the war years.
An in-depth account of Abraham Lincoln's thought and politics focuses on his contradictory treatment of black Americans in matters of slavery in the South and basic civil rights in the North, revealing how Lincoln's firm abolitionist ideas were balanced by his commitment to the rights of the states and the limitations of federal power.
