Informationen zum Autor April Holm is assistant professor of history and associate director of the Center for Civil War Research at the University of Mississippi. She is a social and political historian of the nineteenth century United States, specialising in religion and morality, sectionalism and nationalism, and the politics of slavery. Klappentext "A kingdom divided is the first comprehensive study of white evangelical Protestants in the border region during the nineteenth century"--Introduction. Zusammenfassung Uncovers how evangelical Christians in the border states influenced debates about slavery, morality, and politics from the 1830s to the 1890s. Using little-studied events and surprising incidents from the region, April Holm argues that evangelicals on the border powerfully shaped the regional structure of American religion in the Civil War era.
