- Forced_into_Glory abstract "Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream (ISBN 0-87485-085-1) is a book by the African American scholar and historian, Lerone Bennett, Jr., published in 2000. It attacks Abraham Lincoln and claims that his reputation as the "Great Emancipator" is undeserved. The introduction to the book says that his "basic idea of the book is simple: Everything you think you know about Lincoln and race is wrong. Every schoolchild, for example, knows the story of 'the great emancipator' who freed Negroes with a stroke of the pen out of the goodness of his heart. The real Lincoln... was a conservative politician who said repeatedly that he believed in white supremacy. Not only that: He opposed the basic principle of the Emancipation Proclamation until his death and was literally forced - Count Adam Gurowski said he was literally whipped - 'into the glory of having issued the Emancipation Proclamation,' which Lincoln drafted in such a way that it did not in and of itself free a single slave."The book is dedicated to individuals whom Bennett calls "the real abolitionists", including Frederick Douglass, Thaddeus Stevens and Wendell Phillips. In the dedication, he praises them for forcing "Lincoln into glory."Historian Brian Dirck states that "Few Civil War scholars take Bennett... seriously, pointing to... [his] narrow political agenda and faulty research."Bennett's critics believe that he ignored Lincoln's political and moral growth during the Civil War and oversimplified the complexities of the times on issues of race. They disagreed with Bennett, claiming that Lincoln was instrumental in creating the framework that brought freedom to slaves in the United States.".
