Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This is an important book. It helps us see the relationship between Lincoln and the Radicals with a level of detail that we do not see in books that concentrate on Lincoln alone."
--Stewart Winger, author of Lincoln, Religion, and Romantic Cultural Politics
"Collaborators for Emancipation is a useful corrective to those historians and others who have overemphasized Lincoln's cautious temperament at the expense of his radical leanings, or his alleged timidity regarding emancipation, or his substantive disagreements, such as they were, with abolitionists. . . . this is a book worth reading and pondering."--Civil War Book Review

"The authors of Collaborators for Emancipation correctly place Lincoln in the broader context of the antislavery and abolition movements. In excavating the partnership between Lincoln and Illinois Congressman Owen Lovejoy, the brother of the martyred abolitionist editor Elijah Lovejoy and a political abolitionist, they illuminate a relationship that is known but not well understood."--Journal of Illinois History
