McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era "This splendid collection of essays, the capstone of William J. Cooper's prolific writing career, displays his many strengths as an historian: versatility in selection of topic, vigorous prose, rigorous research, and cogent argumentation. Thus its publication by Louisiana State University Press is a happy event indeed." --Michael Holt, author of The Election of 1860: A Campaign Fraught with Consequences "These wide-ranging essays, published over a forty-two-year period, provide a taste of William J. Cooper's important scholarship. Clearly written, thoughtful, and accessible, they put forth compelling analyses of major interpretive issues in the political history of the Civil War era." --Peter Kolchin, author of American Slavery, 1619-1877
