Abraham Lincoln and the Problem of Reconstruction
From the start of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln considered the problem of reconstruction, and for four years he took actions that he hoped would hasten the end of the rebellion: he supported the statehood of West Virginia and its admission to the Union, he appointed military governors, he issued a Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction, and, in his last speech, delivered on April 11, 1865, he offered a vision for the future, one that include…

Lincoln’s Hundred Days
Lincoln's Hundred Days
"The time has come now," Abraham Lincoln told his cabinet as he presented the preliminary draft of a "Proclamation of Emancipation." Lincoln's effort to end slavery has been controversial from its inception—when it was denounced by some as an unconstitutional usurpation and by others as an inadequate half-measure—up to the present, as historians have discounted its import and impact. At the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, Louis…

Civil War Mobilizations
Against the Gallows
In antebellum America many reformers included the abolition of capital punishment among their causes. Seen as authoritarian, anti-Christian, inhumane, and nondeterrent, the gallows came under assault. Activists encouraged legislators to reduce the number of capital crimes, move the gallows behind prison walls, and develop ways to reform criminals. While this story is well known, less well known is how fully American writers embraced the antigallo…
The Soiling of Old Glory
On April 6, 1976, nineteen months after the desegregation of Boston's public schools began, the front page of the Boston Herald American and newspapers throughout the country bore a shocking photo. Taken by Stanley Forman, the picture depicted a young white man, Joseph Rakes, attempting to stab a well-dressed black man, Ted Landsmark, with an American flag. Here in the cradle of liberty in the year of the bicentennial and more than two decades af…

The First World Series
America's Jubilee
Reading these two books together gives the unmistakable impression that a seismic shift took place in American perception in the five years that separated the country's “Jubilee” anniversary and what Louis P. Masur memorably calls the “year of eclipse.” Historians of the early republic might attribute the change in national mood to the electoral victory of Andrew Jackson over John Quincy Adams midway through the span from 1826 to 1831, but the ar…

Pictures Have Now Become a Necessity
When the second edition of Out of Many arrived, my initial desire, checked only by a squeamishness about defacing books, was to slice off volume i's cover and stick it on my office wall. It was that striking. In full color, bled to the edge, and wrapped around to the back is Richard Caton Woodville's The Sailors Wedding (1852). A genre painting intended to highlight a supposed scene of everyday life, the image, read left to right, shows a patriar…

Reading Watson and the Shark
BROOK WATSON loved to swim. He was only acting on a natural impulse, then, when he dove into the green waters of Havana Harbor while on a voyage to the West Indies in 1749. A shark sharing those same waters acted on its own natural impulse. Three times it attacked the fourteen-year-old boy. In the first attack, the flesh was stripped from the calf of Watson's right leg. After the second attack, his foot was gone. As the shark rose for its third s…

Civil War Stories
A new generation of historians are rewriting the cultural history of the Civil War. More than two decades have passed since Edmund Wilson's Patriotic Gore (1962), George Fredrickson's The Inner Civil War (1965), and Daniel Aaron's The Unwritten War (1973) examined the intellectual and literary impact of the war. In that time, waves of books have refashioned our understanding of the military, political, and social history of the Civil War. If the …
