An Agrarian Republic: Farming, Antislavery Politics, and Nature Parks in the Civil War Era - Civil War America
Adam Wesley Dean
The familiar story of the Civil War tells of a predominately agricultural South pitted against a rapidly industrializing North. However, Adam Wesley Dean argues that the Republican Party's political ideology was fundamentally agrarian. Dean shows how agrarian republicanism shaped the debate over slavery's expansion, spurred the creation of the Department of Agriculture, and laid the foundation for the development of the earliest nature parks.
