No longer was it possible to pretend that slaveholding was consistent with the values of Americas founding, but how fast could the country change? And could slavery be abolished while keeping the Constitution intact? In The President and the Freedom Fighter, Brian Kilmeade tells the remarkable story of how Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass steered America through this moral crisis. Each was an unlikely hero, one born in poverty, one in slavery. Neither had a formal education or an easy path to influence, and no one would have expected their paths to converge. And yet, during America's darkest hour, the awo leaders became exactly what the nation needed. Over the course of the Civil War, these two men would endure bloodthirsty mobs, political conspira-cies, devastating defeats on the battlefield, and the tragic loss of life that would culminate at Getrysburg. They wouldn't always see eye to cyc, bue ultimacely their commitment to the Consticution and their love for the American experiment would unite them in friendship-and help America live up to its values. The President and the Freedom Figher cransforms this slice of history into a dramatic narrative that will keep you turning the pages to find our how these two men, through their principles and patience, not only changed each other, but made America more truly free for all.
