Description:*Running Time => 22hrs. and 30mins.*Biographer and historian Stephen B. Oates tells the story of the coming of the American Civil War through the voices, and perspectives of 13 principal players in the drama, from Thomas Jefferson and Harry Clay in the Missouri crisis of 1820 down to Stephen A. Douglas, Jefferson Davis, and Abraham Lincoln in the final crisis of 1861. This innovative approach shows the crucial role that perception of events played in the sectional hostilities that pushed the United States irreversibly toward calamity.Nat Turner, William Lloyd Garrison, John C. Calhoun, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, George Fitzhugh, John Brown, and Mary Boykin Chestnut also provide perspectives. Each character takes a turn onstage, narrating critical events in which he or she was a major participant or eyewitness. For the dramatic monologues, Oates draws the actual words of his speaker - in letters, speeches, interviews, recollections, and other recorded utterances - and then simulates how, were they reminiscing aloud, they would describe these events in which they were the principal actors or witnesses. All the events and themes reflect the historical record.©1997 Stephen B. Oates (P)2021 TantorWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
