{"product_id":"lincolns-lost-colony-boyce-thompson-9781476688848","title":"Lincoln's Lost Colony: The Black Emigration Scheme of Bernard Kock","description":"\u003cp\u003e Abraham Lincoln is renowned for his stance on the emancipation of enslaved people in a period when America was sorely divided. At the same time, there was a little-known event that took place--one that left a stain on Lincoln's legacy, and has apologists still trying to expunge it today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book tells the quiet but bloody history of Bernard Kock, a New Orleans entrepreneur with an ill-fated attempt at establishing a cotton plantation on Ile-a-Vache, a deserted Haitian island, using formerly enslaved Americans. It also covers Lincoln's involvement and support of Kock's plan, as well as his pledge of $50 in government funding for each of the 453 colonists. With chapters on Lincoln's encouragement of black deportation, the establishment of the plantation, the futile attempts at damage control and more, this text reveals an untold part of Lincoln's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boyce Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476688842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476688848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.83w x 0.55d","brand":"Boyce Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138816635135,"sku":"9781476688848","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55a0dc83-d58c-4c62-9856-2305bed5b852.jpg?v=1687901615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lincolns-lost-colony-boyce-thompson-9781476688848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
