It’s amazing how a truth can be hiding in plain sight for 160 years. How a narrative with such a desired belief, though false, can cause historians to overlook historical facts while looking right at them. What’s in this book is not new or unknown. It is factual information that has been ignored in favor of what historians have wanted us to believe. In the face of letters that Lincoln wrote himself, giving great clarity to his motives, historians have hidden from us the fact that Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a quid pro quo and that Lincoln used it to build the army that he needed to save the Union. In this book you will find, that not only did the Union not save black people, but that Black Soldiers actually saved the Union. And you will find it in the words of Abraham Lincoln himself.
