Unlike many important historical figures, Abraham Lincoln is generally regarded as a morally virtuous person. Lincoln's Ethics addresses the question of whether Lincoln deserves his reputation as a moral exemplar. It discusses some of his morally controversial policies and presents evidence for thinking he was morally virtuous in many important respects.
