"The best general account of politics in the North," as David
Herbert Donald calls this book, is also the first one-volume
history of its subject. Abraham Lincoln's single goal of saving the
Union required not simply subduing the South but contending as well
with divisiveness in the North--with refractory state officials,
draft resisters, peace advocates, secret organizations, with
Northern Democrats (too often seen only as Copperheads or as
traitors to the Union), and with powerful Republicans who often
vocally disagreed with Lincoln's policies. In this account, Radical
Republicans represent consensus with Lincoln more than conflict,
sectional more than economic interests, and party over faction.
Largely, dissent was heard and accommodated; and, if the federal
legislation of the time did amount to a Second American Revolution,
it emerged from the conflicts, within the North as well as against
the South, of a nation at war. The outcome was a nation not only
saved but strengthened and slavery ended.
