Michael Vorenberg tells the dramatic story of the creation of a constitutional amendment and argues that the crucial consideration of emancipation happened after, not before the Emancipation Proclamation; that the debate over final freedom was shaped by a level of volatility in party politics underestimated by previous historians, and that the abolition of slavery by constitutional amendment represented a novel method of reform that transformed attitudes toward the Constitution. Michael Vorenberg is an assistant professor of history at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. He was a research assistant to David Herbert Donald for his prize-winning biography, Lincoln, and he is a contributor to the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association and the Reader's Companion to the American Presidency. This is his first book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51908667113760,"sku":"NEW0521652677","price":76.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71z6OyICU2L.jpg?v=1782282381","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/final-freedom-the-civil-war-the-abolition-of-slavery-and-the-thirteenth-amendment-cambridge-historical-studies-in-american-law-and-society-0521652677","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
