Marking the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862, acclaimed historian Louis Masur spoke about his book Lincoln’s Hundred Days: The Emancipation Proclamation and the War for the Union. His book reveals the political, moral and personal concerns that plagued Abraham Lincoln in the 100 days between September 22, 1862, when he first presented a formal draft of the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet, and New Year’s Day 1863, when he signed a much-altered final version of the executive order.
