Summary of The Lincoln Miracle by Ed Achorn: Inside the Republican Convention That Changed History
IN THIS SUMMARIZED BOOK, YOU WILL GET:
Edward Achorn's The Lincoln Miracle is a vivid, behind-the-scenes story of Abraham Lincoln's history-changing nomination to lead the Republican Party in the 1860 presidential election. As the Republican National Convention opened in mid-May 1860, powerful New York Senator William Seward was the overwhelming favorite for the presidential nomination, but Illinois circuit Judge David Davis had come to fight for his friend. Achorn explores the genius of Lincoln's quiet strategy, the vicious partisanship tearing apart America, the fierce battles over racism and slavery, and booming Chicago as a symbol of the modernization transforming the nation. The novel is essential reading for any Lincoln aficionado as it is for anyone who cares about our nation's history.
