Steven A. Goldman looks at the contentious post-Civil War era from the perspective of Union veterans carried on the fight for equality in the decades to come. He explores the root causes of this historic contest, the changing attitudes of northern servicemen with respect to the Civil War's purpose, and the psychological effect of involvement in the unfinished cause of freedom and equality for all Americans.
