@jamellebouie.net I’m a big fan of your work, especially as it draws on Lincoln/Civil War history. Want to alert you to a book publishing from Norton in February, BOSS LINCOLN: THE PARTISAN LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN by Matthew Pinsker. A game changer - can send a galley if you’d like.

just want to share this Lincoln line from his "electric cords" speech.

"So I say in relation to the principle that all men are created equal, let it be as nearly reached as we can. If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will impose slavery upon any other creature."
