A New Birth of Freedom: Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War

 

The shots fired at Fort Sumter, S.C. on April 12, 1861, triggered a national crisis. While Abraham Lincoln entered office with only a few months of previous military experience with the Illinois militia, as president, he would lead the country through political turmoil, military setbacks and the calamities of war.
