The author shows why the border states, and especially Kentucky, were so important in Lincoln's strategy for fighting the war, and why he was always ready to ignore the abolitionists, his cabinet, his party majority in Congress or any other group in the North if by so doing he could strengthen the Union cause in Missouri, Maryland, or Illinois.

Seller's Description:
8vo. Burgundy cloth with white spine lettering. viii, 161pp. Illustrations. Fine. A tight and pristine facsimile reprint of the first volume in "The Walter Lynwood Fleming Lectures in Southern History" series (Louisiana State University Press, 1946)--what Robert Johannsen calls "Four lectures [which] reveal in provocative and interesting style Lincoln's strong sympathies throughout the war for the area of his heritage" and Rodney C. Loehr calls "Very incisive essays that emphasize Lincoln's Southern background and his practical thinking about a restored Union." The first edition is scarce and even this reprint rather uncommon. NEVINS II, 84 and 112.
