In the Balance: Lincoln, Davis, and America’s Civil War
No Customer Reviews
Did you know that the Civil War was the only time in U.S. history when two presidents, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, commanded armies against each other? In "In the Balance: Lincoln, Davis, and America's Civil War", acclaimed historian Helen Roque delves into the lives of these two remarkable leaders as they navigated one of the darkest periods in American history. With their nation torn in two, Lincoln and Davis became the embodiment of rival ideologies-one striving to preserve the Union and end slavery, the other committed to Southern independence and the Confederate cause. Roque paints a vivid portrait of their conflicting journeys, tracing Lincoln's evolution from a humble lawyer to the resolute commander-in-chief who risked everything to save the Union and redefine American freedom. On the opposite side, Davis, a skilled military man with high hopes for the Confederacy, faced a daunting struggle to keep his new nation united amid mounting challenges.
