About This Book

The book traces the rise of the anti-slavery movement in the antebellum decades, follows the secession crisis and four-year Civil War, and examines the competing Reconstruction approaches of Lincoln-Johnson and Congress before describing the restoration of Southern self-government and its consequences. It emphasizes causal sequences connecting abolitionist agitation, constitutional disputes, wartime policies, and postwar political arrangements, and offers a concise chronology and analysis of how these events reshaped institutions, race relations, and regional power in the United States.
