Early in that fateful year, a second American revolution unfolded, inspiring a new generation to reject their parents' faith in compromise and appeasement, to do the unthinkable in the name of an ideal. It set Abraham Lincoln on the path to greatness and millions of slaves on the road to freedom. Goodheart takes us from the corridors of the White House to the slums of Manhattan, from the mouth of the Chesapeake to the deserts of Nevada, from Boston Common to Alcatraz Island, vividly evoking the Union at this moment of ultimate crisis and decision.-- From publisher description. 588 Description based on print version record. 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xCauses. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1861-1865. 651 0 United States|xIntellectual life|y19th century. 650 17 Amerikaanse burgeroorlog.|2gtt 650 17 Gevolgen.|2gtt 650 17 Voortekenen.|2gtt 651 7 Verenigde Staten.|2gtt 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGoodheart, Adam.|t1861.|b1st ed.|dNew York : Alfred A.
