O. Vernon Burton Sees Abraham Lincoln as a Southerner

Description:Unlike other biographers of Lincoln, Vernon Burton chose not to separate Lincoln's southern origins from his beliefs. Lincoln had a strong sense of honor, a trait he derived from his southern upbringing. He believed the preservation of the Union was a matter of honor. Where Lincoln differed, however, was in the meaning of liberty. (4:26)
