Showdown in Virginia: The 1861 Convention and the Fate of the Union
ISBN: 9780813929484 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the spring of 1861, Virginians confronted destiny--their own and their nation's. Pivotal decisions awaited about secession, the consequences of which would unfold for a hundred years and more. But few Virginians wanted to decide at all. Instead, they talked, almost interminably. The remarkable record of the Virginia State Convention, edited in a fine modern version in 1965, runs to almost 3,000 pages, some 1.3 million words. Through the diligent efforts of William W. Freehling and Craig M. Simpson, this daunting record has now been made accessible to teachers, students, and general...

ISBN: 9780195058154 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Here is history in the grand manner, a powerful narrative peopled with dozens of memorable portraits, telling this important story with skill and relish. Freehling highlights all the key moments on the road to war, including the violence in Bleeding Kansas, Preston Brooks's beating of Charles Sumner in the Senate chambers, the Dred Scott Decision, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, and much more. As Freehling shows, the election of Abraham Lincoln sparked a political crisis, but at first most Southerners took a cautious approach, willing to wait and see what Lincoln would do--especially,...

Secession Debated: Georgia's Showdown in 1860
ISBN: 9780195079456 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The critical northern antebellum debate matched the rhetorical skills of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas in an historic argument over the future of slavery in a westward-expanding America. Two years later, an equally historic oratorical showdown between secessionists and Unionists in Georgia generated as much popular interest south of the Mason-Dixon line, and perhaps had an even more profound immediate effect on the future of the United States.
With Abraham Lincoln's "Black Republican" triumph in the presidential election of 1860 came ardent secessionist sentiment in the South.... The critical northern antebellum debate matched the rhetorical skills of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas in an historic argument over the futur...

Prelude to Civil War
ISBN: 9780195076813 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When William Freehling's Prelude to Civil War first appeared in 1965 it was immediately hailed as a brilliant and incisive study of the origins of the Civil War. Book Week called it "fresh, exciting, and convincing," while The Virginia Quarterly Review praised it as, quite simply, "history at its best." It was equally well-received by historical societies, garnering the Allan Nevins History Prize as well as a Bancroft Prize, the most prestigious history award of all. Now once again available, Prelude to Civil War is still the definitive work on the subject, and one of the most important in...

The South vs. The South: How Anti-Confederate Southerners Shaped the Course of the Civil War
ISBN: 9780195156294 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why did the Confederacy lose the Civil War? Most historians point to the larger number of Union troops, for example, or the North's greater industrial might. Now, in The South Vs. the South, one of America's leading authorities on the Civil War era offers an entirely new answer to this question.
William Freehling argues that anti-Confederate Southerners--specifically, border state whites and southern blacks--helped cost the Confederacy the war. White men in such border states as Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland, Freehling points out, were divided in their loyalties--but far more... Why did the Confederacy lose the Civil War?

The Road to Disunion: Secessionists at Bay, 1776-1854: Volume I
ISBN: 9780195072594 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Far from a monolithic block of diehard slave states, the South in the eight decades before the Civil War was, in William Freehling's words, "a world so lushly various as to be a storyteller's dream." It was a world where Deep South cotton planters clashed with South Carolina rice growers, where the egalitarian spirit sweeping the North seeped down through border states already uncertain about slavery, where even sections of the same state (for instance, coastal and mountain Virginia) divided bitterly on key issues. It was the world of Jefferson Davis, John C. Calhoun, Andrew Jackson, and...
