By the bestselling author of American Nations, the story of how the
myth of U.S. national unity was created and fought over in the
nineteenth century--a myth that continues to affect us today Union
tells the story of the struggle to create a national myth for the
United States, one that could hold its rival regional cultures
together and forge an American nationhood. On one hand, a small
group of individuals--historians, political leaders, and
novelists--fashioned and promoted the idea of America as nation
that had a God-given mission to lead humanity toward freedom,
equality, and self-government. But this emerging narrative was
swiftly contested by another set of intellectuals and firebrands
who argued that the United States was instead the homeland of the
allegedly superior "Anglo-Saxon" race, upon whom divine and
Darwinian favor shined. Colin Woodard tells the story of the
genesis and epic confrontations between these visions of our
nation's path and purpose through the lives of the key figures who
created them, a cast of characters whose personal quirks and
virtues, gifts and demons shaped the destiny of millions.
