While Manhattan was the site of many important Civil War events,
Brooklyn also played an important part in the war. Henry Ward
Beecher "auctioned off" slaves at the Plymouth Church, raising the
money to free them. Walt Whitman reported news of the war in a
Brooklyn paper and wrote some of his most famous works. At the same
time, Brooklyn both grappled with and embraced unique challenges,
from the arrival of new immigrants to the formation of one of the
nation's first baseball teams. Local historian Bud Livingston
crafts the portrait of Brooklyn in transition--shaped by the Civil
War while also leaving its own mark on the course of the terrible
conflict.
