The Emancipation Proclamation: A Brief History with Documents
Definitely complicates the whole manifest destiny/white man's burden narrative that is typically used to help explain US motivation in empire building, and it's rather eye-opening to hear racism typical of the time period used as a dissuading factor. But, as somebody else already mentioned, it's extremely redundant. Also, I'm a little skeptical about some of his arguments.
