Lincoln rebuked his friend for failing to oppose slavery. But he added: ''If for this you and I must differ, differ we must,'' and said they would be friends forever. Throughout his life and political career, Lincoln often agreed to disagree. Democracy demanded it, since even an adversary had a vote. The man who went on to become America''s sixteenth president has assumed many roles in our historical consciousness, but most notable is that he was, unapologetically, a politician. And as Steve Inskeep argues, it was because he was willing to engage in politics - meeting with critics, sometimes working with them and other times outwitting them - that he was able to lead a social revolution. In Differ We Must, Inskeep illuminates Lincoln''s life through sixteen encounters, some well-known, some obscure, but all imbued with new significance here.
