For the Union and the Catholic Church: Four Converts in the Civil War

Synopsis

Four Men Joined The Catholic Church In The Mid-1840s: A Soldier, His Bishop Brother, A Priest Born A Slave And An Editor. For The Next Two Decades They Were In The Thick Of The Battles Of The Era--catholicism Versus Know-nothingism, Slavery Versus Abolition, North Versus South. Much Has Been Written About The Catholic Church And About The Civil War. This Book Is The First In More Than Half A Century To Focus Exclusively On The Intersection Of These Two Topics.
