Differ we must

how Lincoln succeeded in a divided America
2023
"From journalist and historian Steve Inskeep, a compelling and nuanced exploration of the political acumen of Abraham Lincoln via sixteen encounters before and during his presidency, bringing to light not only the strategy of a great politician who inherited a country divided, but lessons for our own disorderly present. In 1855, as the United States found itself at odds over the issue of slavery, then lawyer Abraham Lincoln composed a note on the matter to his close friend, the heir to a slaveholding family in the South. Lincoln--who was morally against the institution of slavery--rebuked his friend for his opposing views, he lectured him, he challenged him. But in the end, he wrote: "If for this you and I must differ, differ we must." Throughout his life and political career, Lincoln often agreed to disagree. Democracy demanded it--even an adversary had a vote"--Provided by publisher.

The magnificent mischief of Tad Lincoln

2023
"Tad Lincoln was forever getting into trouble. He bounced around the White House making mischief and annoying the staff. Only President Lincoln was never annoyed--he delighted in his son's antics. Tad was his father's joy and comfort in the midst of a brutal war, a family tragedy, and the toll of holding the nation's highest office. When Tad befriends a turkey who is meant to be Thanksgiving dinner, his plea for his pet to be spared teaches his father a lesson about mercy and starts the tradition of the Thanksgiving turkey pardon, a tradition that presidents carry on to this day"--Provided by publisher.
