The Civil War exposed regional and political divisions with internal violence never
before experienced by a developing nation. In this new study, Dr. William O. Lawton
takes a fresh look at the men who led the two distinct halves of this once-divided
nation. As President of the Union and President of the Confederacy, respectively,
Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis represented opposite sides of the American
spectrum. Beginning in the places of their birth, Dr. Lawton follows the two presidents
to the heights of power and into the depths of war. How Abraham Lincoln, an
undereducated orator from Illinois, would politically outmaneuver Jefferson Davis,
a product of southern gentility and military grooming, would prove to be the most
important victory of the war.
With hope in the human spirit and an affirmation of the national character, this
fresh look at the Civil War examines both the fall of the Confederacy and the
determination which rebuilt the union. Honest and inspiring, Lincoln and Davis:
Two Opposite Sides, shows how America’s greatest tragedy became America’s
greatest triumph.
