"American Civil War " by Professor Carl Fish
We offer a single chapter of the work by Professor Fish (augmented with our choice of images) as evidence of what we perceive to have been a deliberate campaign in the 20th century by apologists for the 19th century, ... seeking to eradicate or romanticize the historical memory of 19th century attitudes and behaviors. Our concern is that obvious removals from the American libraries of scholarship by men like Carter G. Woodson, Carl Fish and many others, Black and White, has been little noticed by scholars that ought to care. The danger of ignorance or functional fear about African-American history is that voices of past follies can become that of current and future reasoning away of unpleasant realities. [MLB]
Mary Todd Lincoln has been described as a short, lively woman who came from a prominent Lexington, Kentucky, family of slaveholders. Her husband, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, is supposed to have said that while God made do with one d, the Todds demanded two.

Formerly a slave in the American South, Harriet Tubman became known as the most famous guide of the Underground Railroad, a secret network that during the mid-1800s helped slaves escape to freedom in the northern United States and Canada. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, Tubman returned to the South 19 times, using varied routes and disguises. She led hundreds of slaves to freedom and was likened to Moses, the shepherd who led the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt during biblical times. Culver Pictures.
