Thomas Carson ’75 AM, ’77 PhD announces the Cambridge University Press publication of Lincoln’s Ethics. The book asks whether Lincoln deserves his reputation as a morally exemplary person. Carson discusses some of Lincoln’s morally controversial policies and presents evidence for thinking that Lincoln was morally good in many important respects. Carson also considers the reasons why some fault Lincoln as a husband, father, and son and the reasons why some people claim that he was a racist.
