A Civil War Monitor best book of 2020 A group biography of the activists who defended human rights and defined the Republican Party's greatest hour In 1862, the ardent abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison summarized the events that were tearing apart the United States: "There is a war because there was a Republican Party. There was a Republican Party because there was an Abolition Party. There was an Abolition Party because there was Slavery."
