In 1860, four rivals for the Republican presidential nomination—Abraham Lincoln, Salmon P. Chase, William Seward, and Edward Bates—were bitterly disappointed. How did this self-educated prairie lawyer defeat formidable foes such as these? Team of Rivals tells how Lincoln earned the respect of such disparate men so that they would serve in his cabinet and support his policies, even though they had vigorously opposed him earlier.
“In order to “win a man to your cause,” Lincoln explained, you must first reach his heart, “the great high road to his reason.” ― Doris Kearns Goodwin.
