Applegate performs an astounding feat here: she manages to explain, concisely and clearly, everything from the origins and results of the Civil War to why religion played such a major role
in 19th century American life. On top of that, she illuminates the fascinating Beecher family, shining a light on Henry Ward, the most modern of that old Calvinist family. A really terrific read - bravo!
