"A distinctive contribution on the influence of Christians on Union politics during the Civil War era." — Ohio History Religion and the Radical Republican Movement, 1860–1870 is a study of the interplay of religion and politics during the Civil War era. More specifically, it examines the extent to which religion set the moral tone of the North during the period of 1860 through 1870. Howard focuses on the growing influence of the evangelical and liberal churches during the period. This influence was largely exerted through the agency of the radical Republicans, a faction that took an extreme position on war measures and on reconstruction after the war. This book examines the degree to which radicalism was inspired by moral motivation and the action that followed the moral commitment. "The author's prodigious research and stacks of quotations convincingly display the northern church's commitment to black suffrage and to the era's important congressional legislation bearing on black rights and other central Reconstruction issues." — Choice

A prim and proper Southern belle finds searing passion in the arms of a man forbidden to her in this classic romance from the author of Confederate Vixen. Lacy Dawn Hampton sighed with exasperation as she fanned herself in the gazebo at Paradise Plantation. How sheltered and boring her life was. She longed for passion and excitement, but her father and three older brothers protected her from everything. Then she heard a splash and her green eyes widened as a broodingly handsome man emerged from the lake and walked straight toward her—pure temptation made flesh. And Lacy’s longing drove every misgiving from her mind . . . Chase Tarleton had traveled the Trail of Tears when his Cherokee family was driven from their native Georgia. Now, back for a reunion with his white grandparents, Chase found himself torn between two worlds, the Cherokee camp he’d left behind and the vast plantation, Towering Pines, that would someday be his. Nearing his destination, Chase paused for a refreshing swim and spied a vision in peach colored satin. The luscious golden-haired belle was staring straight at him. And he knew his life would never be complete until he tasted those teasing crimson lips, spanned that tiny waist with his muscular hands, and caressed every satiny inch of her tantalizing body . . .
