Lincoln and the Thirteenth Amendment

[STS Lincolnite]

Christian, welcome to the group. When I arrived home from work yesterday, your book was waiting for me in the mail. I am very much looking forward to reading it! I think the thirteenth amendment was one of Lincoln's great legacies but is often overlooked in that regard. It obviously was very important to him personally as evidenced by the fact that, although unnecessary Constitutionally, he felt inclined to sign (and did sign) the joint resolution of House and Senate for the 13th amendment. I look forward to learning more about that detail and others in your book.
