Overview
Overview
This book examines the rarely-covered relationship between Abraham Lincoln and his most influential ancestors, and demonstrates how that relationship drove Lincoln's self-image and his enduring popular image today. Lincoln grew up with a grandfather who treated people as if they were property, driving the young man to adopt the founders' promise typified by Jefferson's all men are created equal ideal. As a politician, Lincoln began by advocating for the mere containment of slavery, though his views evolved and he eventually presided over its abolition, fulfilling his lifelong dream of having an immortal name forever linked to freedom and equality.
