Giants : the parallel lives of Frederick Douglass & Abraham Lincoln / by Stauffer, John,1965-author.(CARDINAL)661089;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-416) and index.Meeting the president (August 10, 1863) -- Privileged slave and poor white trash -- Fugitive orator and frontier politician -- Radical abolitionist and Republican -- Abolitionist warrior and war president -- Friends.Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln were the preeminent self-made men of their time. In this dual biography, John Stauffer describes the transformations in the lives of these two giants during a major shift in cultural history, when men rejected the status quo and embraced new ideals of personal liberty. As Douglass and Lincoln reinvented themselves and ultimately became friends, they transformed America. At a time when most whites would not let a black man cross their threshold, Lincoln invited Douglass into the White House. Lincoln recognized that he needed Douglass to help him destroy the Confederacy and preserve the Union; Douglass realized that Lincoln's shrewd sense of public opinion would serve his own goal of freeing the nation's blacks. Their relationship shifted in response to the country's debate over slavery, abolition, and emancipation.--From publisher description.
