Road to Disunion: secessionist at bay, 1776-1854   Title:  Road to Disunion: secessionist at bay, 1776-1854

Author:  William Freehling

Student:  John Wickre

Why this book?  As a master’s degree student at a previous institution, this book was assigned in one of my classes.  I enjoyed the language and epic nature of the story involving the sectional divisions leading to the Civil War.  While I knew the author had already retired, the fact that he taught at the University of Kentucky helped put this school on my radar when I sought a PhD program.
