Lincoln's Evolving View of Slavery and Freedom

Listen (link below) to the NPR interview with author Eric Foner on his book "The Fiery Trial" about Abraham Lincoln's evolving thoughts on slavery and freedom.  Then write a brief one page response paper.  A response paper is a short written essay where you have the opportunity to express your thoughts, ideas, and opinions about the assigned video, book, interview, etc.  This essay will be your reaction to the assigned work.  When listening to this audio, it is very important that you TAKE NOTES ABOUT IMPORTANT POINTS AND THOUGHTS you have.  The one page paper should be 12pt Times New Roman Double Spaced and should have an introduction, body and conclusion.
