Summary:
Book discusses Lincoln's three—hour anti—slavery address made in Peoria, Illinois on October 16, 1854. The author argues that this speech was Lincoln's turning point in his political career and also a turning point in America. The book describes the historical background information surrounding Lincoln's early political years, the Kansas—Nebraska Act, his speech in Peoria, the Lincoln—Douglas debates, Lincoln's position on slavery, and everything in between, up until the beginning of the Civil War.
