Summary:
A New Birth of Freedom is the culmination of over a half a century of
study and reflection by one of America's foremost scholars of
American politics, Harry V. Jaffa. This long-awaited sequel to Crisis
of the House Divided, first published in 1959, continues Jaffa's
piercing examination of the political thought of Abraham Lincoln and
the themes of self-government, equality, and statesmanship. Whereas
Crisis of the House Divided focused on the famous senate campaign
debates between Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, this volume expands and
deepens Jaffa's analysis of American political thought, and gives
special attention to Lincoln's refutation of the arguments of John C.
Calhoun-the intellectual champion of the Confederacy.
