Bøger af Eric H. Walther

William Lowndes Yancey (1814-63) was one of the leading secessionists of the Old South. This biography examines his personality and political life. Born in Georgia but raised in the North by a fiercely abolitionist stepfather and an emotionally unstable mother, Yancey grew up believing that abolitionists were cruel, meddling, and hypocritical.
