520    "Upon his election as President of the troubled United 
       States, Abraham Lincoln faced a dilemma. He knew it was 
       time for slavery to go, but how fast could the country 
       change without being torn apart? Many abolitionists wanted
       Lincoln to move quickly, overturning the founding 
       documents along the way. But Lincoln believed there was a 
       way to extend equality to all while keeping and living up 
       to the Constitution that he loved so much-if only he could
       buy enough time. Fortunately for Lincoln, Frederick 
       Douglass agreed with him-or at least did eventually. In 
       The President and the Freedom Fighter, Brian Kilmeade 
       tells the little-known story of how the two men moved from
       strong disagreement to friendship, uniting over their love
       for the Constitution and over their surprising 
       commonalities. Both came from destitution. Both were self-
       educated and self-made men. Both had fought hard for what 
       they believed in. And though Douglass had the harder fight,
       one for his very freedom, the two men shared a belief that
       the American dream was for everyone. As he did in George 
       Washington's Secret Six, Kilmeade has transformed this 
       nearly forgotten slice of history into a dramatic story 
       that will keep you turning the pages to find out how these
       two heroes, through their principles and patience, not 
       only changed each other, but made America truly free for 
       all"--|cProvided by publisher.
