Winner of the Lincoln Prize Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires. It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war. We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through. This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.Binding Type: Hardcover

Decent install power strip
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
I really like this search strip as I installed the inside of my RV the only problem I have with it is if you were using bulky transformer style plugs like that of a iMac laptop, charger or other big transformers, you will not be able to use the USB outlets in the center and I donβt know if thatβs by design to limit current flow, but it sucks.

An absolute must for countertops used as workstations.
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
These were the best thing I did when we had to remodel and I added a large built in countertop. They are made well, and easy to install! They are very versatile since they are designed with both USB-A and USB-C ports along with the standard 110V plugs. I use these with my 3-D printers, laser engravers, computers, printers, and even a few coffee pots!

No issues, and no instructions.
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
No, you donβt need instructions, because the hole dimensions are in one of the photos. 4β x 1.73β is perfect. Plug it in and all of the ports in both that we bought worked perfectly.
