      abstract = {Bowman explores the different ways in which Americans,  North and South, black and white, understood their  interests, rights, and honor during the secession period.  He examines the lives and thoughts of key figures and  provides an especially vivid glimpse into what less famous  men and women in both sections thought about themselves and  the worlds in which they lived, and how their thoughts  informed their actions during this time. Both sides  glorified the Declaration of Independence and the  Constitution of the United States, yet they interpreted  those sacred documents in markedly different ways and held  very different notions of what constituted "American"  values.},
