It was Lincoln's election as president on an anti-slavery platform that sparked the secession of the slaveholding southern states, leading to the civil war (1861-5).
Subject: General William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-91) is remembered by some Americans as a brilliant military strategist who helped bring the civil war to an end, by others as little short of a war criminal.
Sherman was appointed commander of the western armies of the Union in 1864, at a time when, despite the crucial victory at Gettysburg, Lincoln was threatened by the north's lack of appetite for the four-year-old struggle.

The 1892 UK general election was held from 4th - 26th July 1892.

Despite being split between Parnellite and anti-Parnellite factions, the Irish Nationalist vote held up well, leaving Gladstone to form a minority coalition dependent on Irish Nationalist support.

Most refreshingly, Foner spends ample time examining the contributions of the freed slaves themselves - a needed counterpoint to history from both sides of the debate which focus on the freed slave as either victim or usurper, but which rarely offers insight into their motivations and the more subtle aspects of their achievements.
While other histories have focused on such achievements as the election of negros to the position of senator, etc., Foner looks at more lasting impacts such as the formation of the independent fl churches and the shift of fl labor patterns from gang-work to independent sharecroppers working subsistence plots.
Added to such insights are a wealth of references of other eminent scholars of the period and a wider view of 19th century america within which to place an understanding of reconstruction.
