The Lincoln and Mexico Project (LAMP) is offering a special education discount for the book Abraham Lincoln and Mexico during the 2018-2019 academic year.
Now, educators and students can click this link to see the special 99-cent student discount offer for the eBook version from LAMP. The award-winning eBook includes hundreds of active hyperlinks and citations to external reference sources.
In early September, LAMP began sending the discount offer by individual emails to educators across the USA with the following message:
Giving students access to archival documents is a great way to stimulate classroom discussion of facts overlooked or marginalized in textbooks, especially in courses covering 19th century US history and Latin American studies. This book by historian/ educator Michael Hogan contains 18 complete and unedited archival documents about relationships between the USA and Mexico from the 1820s through the 1860s, plus three archival maps and twelve archival photographs.
The documents disclose President Polk’s reasons for starting the Mexican-American War, explore Lincoln’s reasons for opposing that war, and reveal Lincoln’s support as president for exiled Mexican President Benito Juárez that helped end French occupation in Mexico. The book is in college and university libraries across the USA, in several public libraries, and in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.
Here’s the list of almost 150 universities, colleges, and high schools that already have the book or are considering it for this academic year:
