(4) YA Colbert vividly relates the momentous events that followed Lincoln's electoral victory in 1860, which led to the secession of the southern states, creation of the Confederacy, and the start of the Civil War. Although marred by some fictional dialogue, this account creates accurate, sharply etched characterizations of the major players in this real-life drama. Archival photos and drawings are included. Bib., glos., ind.
