Description

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.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
