      abstract = {Freedom, Union, and Power analyzes the beliefs of the  Republican Party during the Civil War, how those beliefs  changed, and what those changes foreshadowed for the  future. The party's pre-war ideology of "free soil, free  labor, free men" changed with the Republican ascent to  power in the White House. With Lincoln's election,  Republicans faced something new-responsibility for the  government. With responsibility came the need to wage a war  for the survival of that government, the country, and the  party. And with victory in the war came responsibility  responsibility for saving the Union-by ending slavery-and  for pursuing policies that fit into their belief in a  strong, free Union. Michael Green shows how Republicans had  to wield federal power to stop a rebellion against freedom  and union. Crucial to their use of federal power was their  hope of keeping that power-the intersection of policy and  politics.},
