The Presidency of
Abraham Lincoln had one of the greatest impacts on American
society in the history of the United States.
In this delightful and heartwarming illustrated novel,
the story of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War comes to
life, making the learning experience more enjoyable than
ever before.
This
graphic novel weaves together the most dramatic scenes
of the Civil war, from the Underground Railroad, key
battles, to the Gettysburg Address and the destruction
of the South. Yet, it also explores lesser-known stories
such as the role of women on the battlefield, and even
the frenzy of pet goats in the White House. Above all,
the story gives the reader a unique view of President
Lincoln as a person. His early years, his relationship
with his son Tad, his personal struggle with the issue
of slavery, and his enduring sense of humor give the
reader a new perspective of the human being behind the
American Icon.
Important topics covered include:
o Lincoln’s path to the Presidency o Battle of Gettysburg
o Emancipation Proclamation o The Underground Railroad o
Battle of Antietam o Women in the battlefield o Burning of
Richmond o Assassination of President Lincoln
