Self-Evident Lie

Discover the profound exploration of slavery's complex meaning in "Self-Evident Lie" by Jeremy J. Tewell, published by Kent State University Press in 2014. This thought-provoking paperback, consisting of 176 pages, delves into the fears surrounding slavery experienced by northerners before the Civil War. Tewell presents his argument with a blend of eloquence and insight, illustrating how prominent Republicans, particularly Abraham Lincoln, viewed universal liberty as the only true protection of individual freedom.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, civil rights, and the foundational principles that shaped the nation.
