A house divided

The Slave Power

The Age of Revolution. Impious prayers : slavery and the revolution ; Half slave and half free : the founding of the United States

The Early Republic. A house dividing : Atlantic slavery and abolition in the era of the early republic ; To become a great nation : caste and resistance in the age of emancipations

The Age of Immediatism. MInds long set on freedom : rebellion, metropolitan abolition, and sectional conflict ; Ere the storm come forth : antislavery militance and the collapse of party politics

The Civil War and Reconstruction. This terrible war : secession, civil war, and emancipation ; One hundred years : reconstruction ; What peace among the whites brought.
