About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will discover Abraham Lincoln's rise to power and how this man, while full of paradoxes, will become one of the great men of modern American history.
You will also discover :
- that Lincoln was a tortured man;
- that his natural eloquence was the driving force of an entire people;
- what were the ins and outs of the famous Civil War;
- how the proclamation of the emancipation of the slaves finally came into being, at the cost of many deaths.
Abraham Lincoln, a native of Kentucky, is a child of the Frontier, that is to say, he comes from a state on the border between American colonized lands and Indian lands, in the very young country that is the United States. His father, Tom, led a life of hard work - following the ideals of Jefferson, for whom work was the path to independence - to provide for his family. As for Nancy, his mother, she died at an early age. From this poor and bereaved family, "Abe" and his sister Sarah inherit an unsavory reputation, which will follow the future Republican throughout his life.
From childhood, Lincoln submits to the way of life of the Frontier, yet so different from his personal ambitions: he works in the fields and goes little to school. Although he did not share his father's convictions and hated this miserable and ignorant world, one aspect was nevertheless decisive in his life: the service in an anti-slavery Baptist church.
