"The Union" meant meant many things to Americans in the years between the Revolution and the Civil War. Nagel's thesis is that the idea served as a treasure-trove of the values and images by which Americans tried to understand their nature and destiny. By tracing the idea of Union through the crucial, formative years of America's history, he makes clear the nature of the intellectual and emotional responses Americans have had to their country.

Review
“The great merit of Nagel's study--a merit which will make it indispensable to students of American nationalism--is that it offers a superb range of quotations which illustrate almost ideally all the varied meanings that were given to Union, all the symbols that were attached to it, all the emotions that were evoked by it. This material is carefully analyzed and the concepts are sorted out.”–Journal of American History
