America's Movements Book Discussion (In Person) - "The Crooked Path to Abolition"

This afternoon at 3:00 p.m, the library book we will be discussing is "The Crooked Path to Abolition", by James Oakes. 

The long and turning path to the abolition of American slavery has often been attributed to the equivocations and inconsistencies of antislavery leaders, including Lincoln himself. But James Oakes's brilliant history of Lincoln's antislavery strategies reveals a striking consistency and commitment extending over many years. The linchpin of antislavery for Lincoln was the Constitution of the United States.
