These essays provide rich historical insights with provocative contemporary implications." - Timothy S. Huebner, author of Liberty and Union: The Civil War Era and American Constitutionalism "The Civil War raised fundamental issues about our constitutional order, issues that still resonate today. Levine, Merrill, and Stoner have assembled a stellar cast of scholars to revisit the thought of the Civil War era and address broader issues, including the ability of the Constitution to function in a polarized political community and produce justice in a multiracial society. These essays have much to teach us not only about the Civil War era but also about our present predicaments." - Daniel Farber, author of Lincoln's Constitution
