Collaborators for Emancipation: Abraham Lincoln and Owen Lovejoy

by William F. Moore and Jane Ann Moore

Book Overview

Few expected politician Abraham Lincoln and Congregational minister Owen Lovejoy to be friends when they met in 1854. One was a cautious lawyer who deplored abolitionists' flouting of the law, the other an outspoken antislavery activist who captained a stop on the Underground Railroad. Yet the two built a relationship that, in Lincoln's words, was one of increasing respect and esteem.
