The United States Senate played a crucial role during the Civil
War. Although the history of the war is often told from the
perspective of President Abraham Lincoln and his military
commanders, the Senate faced war-related issues even before Lincoln
took the oath of office, and continued to influence national events
throughout the war. In the post-war Reconstruction years, senators
led the debates over emancipation, civil rights, and the
readmission of Southern states to representation, and they proposed
constitutional amendments to guarantee rights of citizenship.
Throughout this long period of national crisis, the Senate also
fulfilled its oversight and legislative responsibilities, passing a
remarkable collection of landmark bills. In commemoration of the
sesquicentennial of these pivotal events, this is the story of the
Senate's Civil War.
Included are 200 stories, with over 200 four-color illustrations,
presented in album-style to enlighten, inspire, amuse and inform.
When read collectively, the stories provide clear impressions about
the forces, events, and personalities that have shaped the Senate
of the 21st century.
