Houses Divided provides new insights into the significance of the nineteenth-century evangelical schisms that arose initially over the moral question of African-American bondage.

Said to be capable of mounting fifty guns, the fort was part of the coastal defense system of the state. After Union victories on nearby Hatteras Island, the fort was destroyed and its whereabouts lost for...
