Summary Of The Lincoln Vampire Hunter

When it comes to writing literature authors sometimes use the same information regarding the topic, however they use it in a completely different way. A great example for this situation would be Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln vs. Seth Grahame-Smith’s Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter discuses Lincoln’s secret life as a vampire hunter, this is clearly a fiction genre and Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln discuss the political life of Lincoln’s presidency, this is clearly non-fiction.

Lincoln was also the first Republican president and he was also the founder of the Republican Party. As a president he had to make many political decisions and it was really tough to make judgements such as a “liberal” or “conservative” given the different culture that America was in the 1860s (Kersaw).
