Righteous Strife
How Warring Religious Nationalists Forged Lincoln's Union
Book •
Richard Carwardine's 'Righteous Strife' examines the role of competing religious nationalisms in shaping political alignments and public sentiment during the era of Abraham Lincoln.
The book traces how differing religious visions helped forge and fracture political coalitions in the mid-19th century United States, especially around issues leading to the Civil War. Carwardine combines close archival research with interpretation to show how theological commitments and ecclesial identities influenced civic discourse and policy.
The work situates religious arguments within broader cultural and political developments, highlighting contingency and regional differences.
It is aimed at scholars and informed readers interested in the intersections of religion and politics in American history.
