The influence Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln had on each other and on the nation altered the course of slavery and the outcome of the Civil War. Although Abraham Lincoln deeply opposed the existence of slavery; he saw his mission throughout much of the Civil War as preserving the U nion; with or without slavery. Frederick Douglass; a former slave; passionately believed the war's central mission to be the total abolition of slavery. During their meetings between 1863 and 1865; and through reading each other's speeches and letters; they managed to forge a strong; mutual understanding and respect that helped convince Lincoln the war could not be truly won without black soldiers and permanent emancipation.

Probably because for some reason I was expecting the book to be bigger and more photos to be in it.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Not for the faint of heart.By Grain O SandA very disturbing series of photographs that tells an interesting story of depraved behavior. I enjoyed the selection of photos that I saw at the Denver art museum so I ordered the whole book. I thought I knew what I was in for but some of the photos are still hard for me to look at. While there are a lot of photos that are just plain creepy there are some that are also just plain interesting and even clever. I'm glad I bought it; but I sure don't leaf through it everyday.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Be PreparedBy CestmoiVery disturbing but a true glimpse into that reality. The images will forever haunt me.
