       the president's conscience"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    In the tradition of Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals 
       comes Gustav Niebuhr's compelling history of Abraham 
       Lincoln's decision in 1862 to spare the lives of 265 
       condemned Sioux men, and the Episcopal bishop who was his 
       moral compass, helping guide the president's conscience. 
       More than a century ago, during the formative years of the
       American nation, Protestant churches carried powerful 
       moral authority, giving voice to values such as mercy and 
       compassion, while boldly standing against injustice and 
       immorality. Gustav Niebuhr travels back to this defining 
       period, to explore Abraham Lincoln's decision to spare the
       lives of 265 Sioux men sentenced to die by a military 
       tribunal in Minnesota for warfare against white settlers -
       - while allowing the hanging of 38 others, the largest 
       single execution on American soil. Popular opinion favored
       death or expulsion. Only one state leader championed the 
       cause of the Native Americans, Episcopal bishop, Henry 
       Benjamin Whipple. Though he'd never met an Indian until he
       was 37 years old, Whipple befriended them before the 
       massacre and understood their plight at the hands of 
       corrupt government officials and businessmen. After their 
       trial, he pleaded with Lincoln to extend mercy and 
       implement true justice. Bringing to life this little known
       event and this extraordinary man, Niebuhr pays tribute to 
       the once amazing moral force of mainline Protestant 
       churches and the practitioners who guarded America's 
       conscience.
