How the cultural environment of Lexington, the home of Lincoln's wife, with its pleasure-loving aristocracy, its distinguished political leaders, and its slave auctions shaped his opinions on slavery and secession is traced in these pages. In this city, early known as the ""Athens of the West,"" Lincoln's alliance with the Todd family widened his circle of acquaintances to include such diverse personalities as the fiery Cassius M. Clay, who urged immediate emancipation. 606 $aSlavery$zKentucky$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aKentucky$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 676 $a973.7/092/4 700 $aTownsend$b William H$g(William Henry),$f1890-1964,$01623813 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810756603321 996 $aLincoln and the Bluegrass$93958447 997 $aUNINA
