Benjamin Quarles, Lincoln and the Negro, 1st ed.

Description

Benjamin Quarles was already a leading 20th Century African American scholar when he penned Lincoln and the Negro. His works on the participation of black men in the Revolution and the Civil War established that African Americans were agents of their own liberation.

Here Quarles examines Lincoln’s attitudes on racial matters as they evolved from childhood to the Presidency, and eventually emancipation.

Very good; dust jacket.
