Download or read book 1865 written by Harold Holzer and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1865 Americans faced some of the most important issues in the nation’s history: the final battles of the Civil War, the struggle to pass the Thirteenth Amendment, the peace process, reconstruction, the role of freed slaves, the tragedy of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, and the trials of the conspirators. In this illuminating collection, prominent historians of nineteenth-century America offer insightful overviews of the individuals, events, and issues on 1865 that shaped the future of the United States. Following an introduction by renowned Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, nine new essays explore the end of the Civil War, Lincoln’s death, and the start of the tentative peace in 1865. Michael Vorenberg discusses how Lincoln shepherded through the House of Representatives the resolution sending the Thirteenth Amendment to the states for ratification, John F. Marszalek and Michael B. Ballard examine the partnership of Lincoln’s war management and General Ulysses S. Grant’s crucial last thrusts against Robert E. Lee, and Richard Striner recounts how Lincoln faced down Confederate emissaries who proposed immediate armistice if Lincoln were to reverse the Emancipation Proclamation. Ronald C. White Jr. offers a fresh look at Lincoln’s second inaugural address, and Richard Wightman Fox provides a vivid narrative of Lincoln’s dramatic walk through Richmond after the Confederates abandoned their capital. Turning to Lincoln’s assassination, Edward Steers Jr. relates the story of Booth’s organizational efforts that resulted in the events of that fateful day, and Frank J. Williams explains the conspirators’ trial and whether they should have faced military or civilian tribunals. Addressing the issue of black suffrage, Edna Greene Medford focuses on the African American experience in the final year of the war. Finally, Holzer examines the use of visual arts to preserve the life and legacy of the martyred president. Rounding out the volume are a chronology of national and international events during 1865, a close look at Lincoln’s activities and writings from January 1 through April 14, and other pertinent materials. This thoughtful collection provides an engaging evaluation of one of the most crucial years in America’s evolution.

This book was released on 1928 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What were the thoughts of a little girl who went out as an emigrant to Kansas in 1862? Who knows what it is to depend on the food to be found there? The terrors of a prairie fire? What it is to see Indians in full war paint filling one's doorway? Who can understand the feelings of fifty women and children left unprotected beyond reach of civilization while their men fought off Confederate raiders and died where they fell without medical care? A visit to paris, described at the book's close, provides contrast and we lose sight of la petite savage as she presses her eye to a knothole of the boarding around the Tuileries to catch a glimpse of hte Prince Imperial at play."--Jacket flap.
