A Civil War Monitor best book of 2020 A group biography of the activists who defended human rights and defined the Republican Party's greatest hour
In 1862, the ardent abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison summarized the events that were tearing apart the United States: "There is a war because there was a Republican Party. There was a Republican Party because there was an Abolition Party. There was an Abolition Party because there was Slavery."
Garrison's simple statement expresses the essential truths at the heart of LeeAnna Keith's When It Was Grand. Here is the full story, dramatically told, of the Radical Republicans--the champions of abolition who helped found a new political party and turn it toward the extirpation of slavery. Keith introduces us to the idealistic Massachusetts preachers and philanthropists, rugged Midwestern politicians, and African American activists who collaborated to protect escaped slaves from their captors, to create and defend black military regiments and win the contest for the soul of their party. Keith's fast-paced, deeply researched narrative gives us new perspective on figures ranging from Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Brown, to the gruff antislavery general John Fremont and his astute wife, Jessie Benton Fremont, and the radicals' sometime critic and sometime partner Abraham Lincoln. In the 1850s and 1860s, a powerful faction of the Republican Party stood for a demanding ideal of racial justice--and insisted that their party and nation live up to it. Here is a colorful, definitive account of their indelible accomplishment.

Описание: In 1942, famed French aviator and author, Antoine de Saint-Exup ry was looking for a quiet place to write and complete his book, The Little Prince. He found it in a mansion on Long Island near the village of Northport. Only a few people knew the details of what happened while Saint-Exup ry was writing his masterpiece. One was Adele Breaux, the French teacher from Northport High School whom Saint-Exup ry hired to teach him English. Many years later, Adele set out to write a book to record the facts of those details for the world to know and remember. However, in doing so, she left out the most important fact of all -- she fell in love. Inspired by the memories and recollections from three of Adele's closest friends, this story is unique in that there is little information available about the time Saint-Exup ry was writing The Little Prince. Adele Breaux, being one of Saint-Exup ry's few yet frequent visitors to the mansion, saw first-hand his master work in progress, and came to know him well during that time. Those months in 1942 that Adele shared with Saint-Exup ry were something she spoke often with to her friends, well into her declining years. It was obvious to them that he had more than made a significant impression on her life. He had her heart.
