The Finest Hour in Our Nation's History, 1861 to 1880
Mr Blaine’s preface lauds twenty years of Congress from Lincoln’s 1861 inauguration to Garfield’s 1881, calling the era decisive in war aid, Reconstruction, currency shifts, emancipation, taxation, and industrial growth. He argues the author’s aim is to separate enduring events from transient ones and to provide a clear account of Senate and House actions.
