| Zusammenfassung: | In 1847, Abraham Lincoln represented a Kentucky slave owner named Robert Matson in his attempt to recover a runaway slave woman and her four children. His involvement in the case has challenged most followers of the 'Great Emancipator'. In many assessments, the case inspires rationalisations and distortions; in others, avoidance and denial. This book digs behind the myths and evasions to determine why Lincoln chose to advocate property rights grounded in a system that he claimed to abhor, and pursue the continued enslavement of five of its most vulnerable and sympathetic victims. |

In 1847, Abraham Lincoln represented a Kentucky slave owner named Robert Matson in his attempt to recover a runaway slave woman and her four children. His involvement in the case has challenged most followers of the 'Great Emancipator'. In many assessments, the case inspires rationalisations and distortions; in others, avoidance and denial. This book digs behind the myths and evasions to determine why Lincoln chose to advocate property rights grounded in a system that he claimed to abhor, and pursue the continued enslavement of five of its most vulnerable and sympathetic victims.
