(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ordeal of the Union Vol.1: Fruits of Manifest Destiny 1847-1852 : A House Dividing 1852-1857 (Paperback)

This the book to read if you want to learn about the Compromise of 1850. Nevins goes into great detail about the Compromise and the reaction to its passage in the two sections of the country.
