Eric Foner, author of The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery (Norton, ISBN 978-0393066180), is on The Colbert Report. PW’s review said, “Columbia historian and Bancroft Prize winner Foner (Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men) traces the complexities of Lincoln's evolving ideas about slavery and African-Americans: while he detested slavery, he also publicly rejected political and social equality for blacks, dragged his feet (critics charged) on emancipating slaves and accepting black recruits into the Union army, and floated schemes for colonizing freedmen overseas almost to war's end.”
