From the turn of the century until her death in 1947; Lugenia Burns Hope worked to promote black equality―in Atlanta as the wife of John Hope; president of both Morehouse College and Atlanta University; and on a national level in her discussions with such influential leaders as W.E.B. Du Bois and Jessie Daniel Ames. Highlighting the life of the zealous reformer; Jacqueline Anne Rouse offers a portrait of a seemingly tireless woman who worked to build the future of her race.

A quick read and good for anybody who wants to more than casual information about the Civil War era. This could have written today and you'd never know the difference.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Definitely worthwhileBy Doc HollidayAmerica Goes to War addresses some of the salient cultural issues that are absent from studies of military strategy; battles and politics of Civil War history; (though; all of these remain essential to a real understanding of the significance of Civil War). The value of Catton's lectures; for this reader; underscore the importance of the Civil War; as the modern warfare prototype that was to emerge in the 20th Century; and how the unresolved social and political conflicts; manifested by the Civil War; remain in the American cultural fabric; even today.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
