The Lower Mississippi Valley is more than just a distinct
geographical region of the United States; it was central to the
outcome of the Civil War and the destruction of slavery in the
American South. Beginning with Lincoln's 1860 presidential election
and concluding with the final ratification of the Thirteenth
Amendment in 1865, Freedom's Crescent explores the four states of
this region that seceded and joined the Confederacy: Tennessee,
Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana. By weaving into a coherent
narrative the major military campaigns that enveloped the region,
the daily disintegration of slavery in the countryside, and
political developments across the four states and in Washington DC,
John C. Rodrigue identifies the Lower Mississippi Valley as the
epicenter of emancipation in the South. A sweeping examination of
one of the war's most important theaters, this book highlights the
integral role this region played in transforming United States
history.
