Beschreibung:
Abraham Lincoln grew up in a pioneer family that believed in freedom for all people, but Lincoln never witnessed slavery until he was 19, and he knew few free Blacks. As a politician he was concerned primarily with preserving the Union, not freeing the slaves. But a friendship with the Black leader Frederick Douglass and the bravery of the escaped slaves, and later of Black soldiers, brought to him a deeper understanding of the true humanity of these people of another race. Photos.
