The culmination of years of work on Abraham Lincoln\u2019s political thought, Michael P. Zuckert\u2019s
\u00a0A Nation So Conceived<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0argues for a coherent center to Lincoln\u2019s political ideology, a core idea that unifies his thought and thus illuminates his deeds as a political actor. That core idea is captured in the term \u201cdemocratic sovereignty.\u201d Zuckert provides invaluable guidance to understanding both Lincoln and the politics of the United States between 1845 and Lincoln\u2019s death in 1865 by focusing on roughly a dozen speeches that Lincoln made during his career.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
