The Emancipation Proclamation

40 pp. | Child's | October, 1999 | Library ISBN 1-56766-620-5 $$24.21
(3) 4-6 Carey looks at events before and after the implementation of the Proclamation and discusses the roles Congress and the president played in its becoming law. Readers will get a sense of Lincoln as a politician who initially had to be convinced of the political wisdom of freeing the slaves but later held firmly to a belief in freedom for all. Archival reproductions and sepia-toned photos illustrate the book, and a time line is included. Bib., glos., ind.
