| Summary | "Abraham Lincoln and the Union: A Chronicle of the Embattled North" by Nathaniel W. Stephenson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the complex socio-political landscape of the United States during the Civil War era, focusing particularly on the divisions between the North and the South, and the pivotal role Abraham Lincoln played in the preservation of the Union. This work seeks to answer critical questions about the reasons behind the war and the successes of Lincoln's government. At the start of the narrative, the author lays the groundwork for understanding the deep-seated divisions within the United States post-Compromise of 1850, as articulated by historical figures like Senator Benjamin Wade. He identifies these divisions not only as a conflict over slavery but as part of a broader sectional consciousness that reflected differences in labor ideologies and political ambitions. The opening portion delves into the evolving identities of the North and South, touching on key political figures, the role of prominent political parties of the time, and the fundamental question of national existence that ultimately led to war. The reader is introduced to themes of sectionalism, democracy, and the interplay of personal and political motives that shaped this tumultuous period in American history.
