Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis and the March to Civil War.
This is the tragic story of the North and South as they begin their long, heartbreaking march to Civil War. Using the early lives and careers of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis as theme and framework, two brilliant historians recreate this complex period of American history.
The growth and development of both Lincoln and Davis is given, in parallel form, showing the moral and intellectual forces that shaped the two figures who became the war leaders in the next decade. The clash of opinions led to the clash of armies and in this incisive, psychological portrait of two idealists, a story of America in the decades before the civil war is told in engaging and eloquent prose.
