Zusammenfassung:"In this political history, Michael Green analyzes the ideology of the Republican Party from the election of 1860 to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Drawing on a remarkably wide range of sources. Green traces the evolution and transformation of Republican beliefs during the Civil War, charting the ways in which the Party's pre-war ideology of "free soil, free labor, and free men" changed with the ascent to power and against the realities of governing in a time of war." "Through his study of leading Republicans, as individuals and as a group, Green identifies Republican ideology as the ideology of freedom, union, and power: upholding freedom, preserving the Union, and retaining political power. With Lincoln's election, Republicans faced something new - responsibility for the government. With responsibility came the need to wage war for the survival of that government, the country, and the party."--BOOK JACKET.
