Tracing President Lincoln's Thoughts on Slavery

I meant to post this last month, but just now getting around to it.

Eric Foner on Lincoln and slavery… to include abolition, emancipation, colonization, & etc. Very worthwhile stuff when considering some of the discussions within the blogosphere in the last few months.

From NPR…

*Especially interesting when we consider those who try to suggest that some of the very things Foner discusses haven’t really been considered among historians.
