Daz was joined by author C. Evan Stewart to discuss his latest book, William Henry Seward: Quest to Save the Nation – During The Secession Winter (November 1860– April1861)

During the secession winter of 1860–1861, William H. Seward worked to prevent the breakup of the Union following the election of Abraham Lincoln. Believing compromise and moderation could calm tensions, Seward pushed for conciliatory measures toward the South while firmly opposing disunion as the nation moved closer to civil war.
