In Charles Sumner and the Coming of the Civil War, David Herbert Donald presents a major political biography of one of the most consequential antislavery senators of the antebellum United States. The book follows Sumner from his Boston upbringing, Harvard education, legal training, and reform circles into the national arena, where he became a leading opponent of slavery expansion and a central figure in the sectional crisis. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography, the work is both a life study and an interpretation of the political culture that preceded the Civil War. Donald is interested not only in what Sumner did, but in how temperament, moral conviction, social ambition, and institutional power shaped his public role. The biography treats the Senate as a crucial battlefield before the military war began, showing how speeches, party alignments, personal honor, and ideological rigidity helped turn political conflict into national rupture.
