[Abridged] Presidential Histories

16.B.) The history of the abolitionist movement and Lincoln's place in it; an interview with Kate Masur

Kenny Ryan

The debate over slavery is was old as independence. What made Lincoln to end it with the emancipation of the slaves? Join me as I interview Kate Masur, an associate professor of 19th-century American History at Northwestern University and author of Until Justice Be Done: America’s First Civil Rights Movement, from the Revolution to Reconstruction, on the history of the abolitionist movement and Lincoln's place in it.
