The war also sparked some of the most heroic moments in American history and enshrined a galaxy of American heroes. Above all, it permanently ended the practice of slavery and proved, in an age of resurgent monarchies, that a liberal democracy could survive the most frightful of challenges.In Fateful Lightning, two-time Lincoln Priz 606 $aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 615 0$aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 676 $a973.7 700 $aGuelzo$b Allen C$0900256 701 $aGuelzo$b Allen C$0900256 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789950103321 996 $aFateful lightning$93865272 997 $aUNINA
