Trade Review
“Illustrations and footnotes abound in this slender yet excellent volume. This work is part of the Ohio University Press’s ‘Perspectives on the History of Congress, 1801–1877’ series, which is currently a seven-volume series that examines the U.S. Congress during the antebellum and Civil War eras. It rightly reminds us how the Civil War remains to this day the foremost event in U.S. history. Its essays specifically illustrate how the war brought forth a revolution in the size and scope of America’s national government that, along with a consequential change in culture and society, still resonates into the 21st century.” * Civil War News *
“A refreshing, nuanced take on a topic that has rarely received sustained attention. The book is well suited for public historians, as well as graduate students who are studying the specific topic of Congress and the Civil War and the impact of congressional legislation.” * H-Net Reviews *
