Apostle of Union
Autor Matthew Masonen Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2021
By charting Everett's changing stance toward slavery over time, Mason sheds new light on antebellum conservative politics, the complexities of slavery and its related issues for reform-minded Americans, and the ways in which secession turned into civil war. As Mason demonstrates, Everett's political and cultural efforts to preserve the Union, and the response to his work from citizens and politicians, help us see the coming of the Civil War as a three-sided, not just two-sided, contest.

Descriere
Edward Everett had a distinguished and illustrative career at every level of American politics from the 1820s through the Civil War. In this biography, Matthew Mason argues that Everett's career reveals a complex man whose shifting political opinions, especially on the topic of slavery, illuminate the nuances of Northern Unionism.
