    There Is a North

    How does political change take hold? In the 1850s, politicians and abolitionists despaired, complaining that the North, the poor timid, mercenary, driveling North offered no forceful opposition to the power of the slaveholding South. And yet, as John L. Brooke proves, the North did change. Inspired by brave fugitives who escaped slavery and the cultural craze that was Uncle Toms Cabin, the North rose up to battle slavery, ultimately waging the bloody Civil War. While Lincolns alleged quip about the little woman who started the big war has been oft-repeated, scholars have not fully explained the dynamics between politics and culture in the decades leading up to 1861. Rather than simply viewing the events of the 1850s through the lens of party politics, There Is a North is the first book to explore how cultural action-including minstrelsy, theater, and popular literature-transformed public opinion and political structures. Taking the Norths rallying cry as his title, Brooke shows how the course of history was forever changed.
