The Civil War revealed what united as well as what divided Americans in the nineteenth century—not only in its deadly military conflict, but also in the broader battle of ideas, dueling moral systems, and competing national visions. Historian Adam Arenson focuses on this cultural civil war in St. Louis, the largest city along the border of slavery and freedom. “The Great Heart of the Republic” is a vibrant history of the Civil War era that enriches our understanding of America at a crossroads.
Books available from Left Bank Books.
