Historian and journalist Adam Goodheart presents a gripping account of how the Civil War began in his book 1861: The Civil War Awakening. 1861 is an epic of courage and heroism beyond the battlefields. The author sees a second American revolution unfolding, inspiring a new generation to reject their parents' faith in compromise and appeasement and do the unthinkable in the name of an ideal.
