In 1815, more states and territories were being added to the Union. The issue of slavery soon began to divide the nation. This book tells the story of the events that led to the Civil War and how President Abraham Lincoln fought to preserve the Union, while the Confederacy fought to maintain its way of life. By the end of the war, the South lay in ruins, and the country mourned the death of its great president. Book jacket.
