Pointing to Lincoln's support for the fugitive slave laws; his friendship with slave-owning senator Henry Clay; and conversations in which he entertained the idea of deporting slaves in order to create an all-white nation; the book; concludes that the president was a racist at heart—and that the tragedies of Reconstruction and the Jim Crow era were the legacy of his shallow moral vision.
