The Mighty Revolution – Negro Emancipation in Maryland, 1862–1864 cover

First published in 1964 by the Johns Hopkins University Press, the book recounts in lively prose and complete detail the Civil War prejudices and politics behind Maryland's decision to become the first state to voluntarily free its slaves.

A laudable achievement in research, organization, interpretation, and narration. -- Dudley T. Cornish Journal of American History If, 'history is past politics,' then we should congratulate the author for having written a very good history indeed. -- W. A. Low Journal of Negro History
