<p>In 2008, we saw Hillary Clinton battle political outsider Barack Obama for the presidential nomination. This was followed by President-elect Obama appointing Clinton as his Secretary of State. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was the unknown political outsider. Lincoln appointed his opponent as Secretary of State. Abe's fight wasn't waged for months on television. He didn't raise campaign funds on the Internet. He didn't even attend the nominating convention. Instead, his "Lincoln men" manipulated delegate votes (and more) behind the scenes in Chicago for a few days in May of 1860. Lincoln's First Nomination tells the exciting tale of tough infighting--along with the touchy racial and social issues that aroused our nation then, too. You'll hold your breath at every political twist and turn! And be amazed at the political parallels between 1860 and 2008.</p>
