(⚠️ Trigger Warning: This book contains graphic accounts of racism, lynching, murder, and police brutality.) 

How did a string of horrific 1830s mob killings — including the burning alive of a young Black man, Francis McIntosh — shape Abraham Lincoln’s fight for racial justice and democracy? 🤔

In MURDER ON THE MISSISSIPPI, historian Saladin Ambar dissects Lincoln’s revealing 1838 Lyceum Address, showing how these gruesome events ignited his core values. This book isn’t just history; it’s a prophetic look at how the same threats of mob violence, division, and unchecked power are putting our democracy at risk today.

Get ready for a character-redefining look at a towering figure. Be sure to read the full article through the link in our Bio. 🔗
