The party's pre-war ideology of \"free soil, free labor, free men\" changed with the Republican ascent to power in the White House. With Lincoln's election, Republicans faced something new-responsibility for the government. With responsibility came the need to wage a war for the survival of that government, the country, and the party. And with victory in the war came responsibility responsibility for saving the Union-by ending slavery-and for pursuing policies that fit into their belief in a strong, free Union. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Green shows how Republicans had to wield federal power to stop a rebellion against freedom and union. Crucial to their use of federal power was their hope of keeping that power-the intersection of policy and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823222756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823222759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.00w x 1.03d","brand":"Michael Green","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202189803775,"sku":"9780823222759","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d70eb347-597f-4a63-9db4-e9e7b2ac8702.jpg?v=1756819885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freedom-union-and-power-michael-green-9780823222759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
