Gettysburg Religion: Refinement, Diversity, and Race in the Antebellum and Civil War Border North

Longenecker explores the religious history of antebellum and Civil War-era Gettysburg, shedding light on the remarkable diversity of American religion and the intricate ways it interacted with the broader culture. Longenecker argues that Gettysburg religion revealed much about larger American society and about how trends in the Border North mirrored national developments. In many ways, Gettysburg and its surrounding Border North religion belonged to the future and signaled a coming pattern for modern America. Hardcover. Fordham University Press, 2014. 246 pages.
