Gary Vitale reviews what is known of Abraham Lincoln and his relationship with the Church, from his days in Springfield, Illinois, to his presidency. Vitale concludes that the driving force behind the decisions Lincoln made about slavery and polygamy was the belief that all men and women were unique individuals, and that in America, slavery and polygamy were wrong.
