This book was very thorough in explaining the timeline of the Northern states at war with the Southern states due to disagreements of banning slavery. This book does a great job at explaining Lincoln's apprehensions of banning slavery due to his not wanting the U.S. to be divided and the possibility of losing the land of the Confederate states. This book offers many real archived pictures of slaves at work, union soldiers at work on their headquarters near the Potomac river, as well as Abraham Lincoln and other politicians visiting the union army camps. Historical paintings are also enclosed in the book, such as paintings of the Civil war in action- the bloodiest day known as "The Battle of Antietam", as well as paintings of slaves traveling North and slaves celebrating the abolition of slavery in Washington DC. The end of the book encloses a timeline to reiterate all the important dates noted throughout the body of the book, also including a glossary page with definitions of words often used for political purposes, such as "cabinet", 'ratified" and "secretary of state" among others. This is a great book for children to get a better understanding of these prolific times in history that changed the U.S. for the better. I would definitely recommend this book as a tool for teachers/parents to inform young readers about U.S. history… (mais)
