Reviews
" 'What Shall We Do with the Negro?' is the work of a veteran scholar who knows the primary and secondary sources of the Civil War era. This book will make a mark in the crowded field of Lincoln scholarship."--Joseph P. Reidy, Howard University, author of From Slavery to Agrarian Capitalism in the Cotton Plantation South: Central Georgia, 1800-1880, Escott believes Lincoln has been miscast as the Great Emancipator because he was complicit in the racism of his day and let miitary and political considerations over-ride securing rights for African Americans or supporting a strong Reconstruction policy. He maintains that events, rather than principles, drove Lincoln toward emancipation., This is not a happy account of crusading abolitionist heroes; instead it is a serious attempt to understand what white people thought about race and how that affected their actions...There is probably no other book that gives so well-rounded and unsentimental a picture of the racial thinking that drove decisions both in the North and the South., "Paul D. Escott's well-written, interesting, important, and revisionist 'What Shall We Do with the Negro?' urges general readers and historians not to romanticize and decontextualize historical events in general, and the Civil War, emancipation, and President Abraham Lincoln's role as 'the great emancipator' in particular."--John David Smith, author of An Old Creed for the New South: Proslavery Ideology and Historiography, 1865-1918

What Shall We Do With The Negro
The book itself offers authentic textual concerns about Lincoln's apparent continual political shifting on the issues of abolition,manumission,colonization and policy ambivalence. Yet this was Lincoln's style, given the factualizm of the North and his need to constantly build and rebuild consensus. Even the Republican Party was an amalgamation of splinter groups that had been dissatisfied with the Buchanan & Stevens Democrats: Anti-Slavery Democrats, Whigs, Free Soilers and The New American Party. The book is well documented, although some of its assumptions are questionable.
