County Politics in 1859 60 and its Civil War roots
An essay from Brooklyn Iowa recalls Barnhart schoolhouse debates in 1859 60 at Hannastown with abolitionists portrayed as fanatical. It traces how the discussions on slavery and union fed sectionalism, influenced Lincoln's election, and set the stage for the Civil War, ending with postwar plans and disenfranchisement.
