Virginia was the oldest and proudest State in the Union. Her soil was sacred soil. It had been the theater of many of the historic events in the childhood of our Republic, from the settlement at Jamestown to the surrender at Yorktown. It had furnished the explorers Of our new-country, the warriors to win its independ ence, the statesmen to build its government, it was the Mother of Presidents. Its population were a peculiar people. They gloried in the prestige of their State. There was more State pride in Virginia than in any of the States. Every man was proud to call himself a Virginian and trace his ancestry to the First Families. It was strange, therefore, that a division of this sacred soil should have been one of the incidents of the war. It was strange, too, that it should be the only division accomplished in a war for division, and that it should be brought about by the party opposed to division as against the party fight ing to divide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Taking a quantitative approach, Allan G. Bogue assesses the nature of radical and conservative Republicanism in the Civil War Senate, documents the distinctions among the senators, and clarifies the factors that encouraged or discouraged factionalism. The Earnest Men is divided into two parts: "Men, Context, and Patterns" and "The Substance of Disagreement." In Part One, Bogue investigates the backgrounds of the senators and the institutional structure of the Senate, and he examines the character of leadership exercised in the Senate chamber. He then uses roll-call analysis as a means of establishing distinctions between radical and moderate senators. To account for their voting patterns, he considers living arrangements, seating, regionalism, and election results.In Part Two, Bogue looks closely at the debates in the Senate in order to ascertain the nature of disagreements between radical and moderate Republicans in such policy-making areas as slavery, taxation, human rights, punishment and rehabilitation, and legislation affecting the border states. Taking issue with the idea that the Republicans were essentially unified on the issues of the day, he finds that their differences were widespread and important. A major study of the Senate in one of its most productive periods, The Earnest Men is a remarkable combination of systematic analysis and narrative history.
