2. 2. The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln

   The Story of America's Most Reviled President

   

   A vivid portrait of the blistering opposition Abraham Lincoln faced during the Civil War, this study mines period newspapers, speeches, and cartoons to show how he was castigated as a tyrant, incompetent, and buffoon by critics across the political spectrum. It examines the battles over emancipation, conscription, civil liberties, and military leadership to reveal the ferocity of 19th-century partisan warfare. The narrative then traces how wartime outcomes and his assassination rapidly reshaped public sentiment, transforming a reviled leader into a national icon.
