Sample Book Insights:

#1 The road to atonement for America’s sin was not just the end of slavery, but also the full citizenship and rights of African Americans.

#2 Lincoln had shown his hand early in the war. He had selected Chiriquí, a resource-poor area in what is now Panama, as the new home for millions of African Americans. He just needed to convince them to leave.

#3 Lincoln’s lack of clarity about the purpose and cause of the war stemmed from his desire to shroud the reality of slavery under the guise of preserving the Union.

#4 The drive to be free meant that 179,000 soldiers, 10 percent of the Union Army, was African American. The military service of these men needed to carry with it citizenship rights and the dignity that comes from no longer being defined as property or legally inferior.
