缅北禁地

Bridget Ford, Professor Department of History

The lecture presented in the CSUEB Library by Bridget Ford, Associate Professor of History, 缅北禁地, East Bay, was based on her recently published book, Bonds of Union : Religion, Race and Politics in a Civil War Borderland. Her book reveals how unexpected bonds of union forged among diverse peoples in the Ohio-Kentucky borderlands furthered emancipation through a period of spiraling chaos between 1830 and 1865. Moving beyond familiar arguments about Lincoln's deft politics or regional commercial ties, Bridget Ford recovers the potent religious, racial, and political attachments holding the country together at one of its most likely breaking points, the Ohio River.
