The Case of Abraham Lincoln

The Case of Abraham Lincoln

Massachusetts School of Law's Noted Authors series presents Julie Fenster, author of The Case of Abraham Lincoln.
Although there are over 8,000 books on President Abraham Lincoln, historian Fenster's approach is unique in that she emphasizes his legal career and monumental decision to abandon the Whig for the Republican political party.  She discusses with host, Jeff Demers, several of Lincoln's legal cases, from the simple to the complex.  She explores that decision to join the Republican party and the possible reasonings behind it.
