Book Description
Excerpt from Memorial Services Upon the Seventy-Fourth Birthday of Wendell Phillips: Held at the Residence of William Sumner Crosby, No; 517 Broadway, South Boston, Nov; 29th, 1885 Father, we know that no words of ours can adequately name Thee. It is Thy might in the infinite universe of which we seem so small a part. We are overwhelmed by Thy majesty in the heavens above us, and lost in the mystery of Thy presence about us and beneath us. But though Thou art manifested as power and might and glory, we believe also that there is that in Thee which responds to our trusting hearts when we call Thee Our Father. We do not believe our cry is lost in empty space; but rather that all we know as human tenderness and pity and helpfulness and love are only finite manifestations of what is infinite in Thee. We do not pray because thou needest to be told anything, or because we think we can persuade Thee to be kinder than Thou already art. Did we dream that our prayers had power to interfere with or alter Thine eternally wise and loving purposes we Should not dare to pray. We pray because we must, pouring out our inmost hearts before Thee, as children think aloud their childish hopes and fears in the presence of father or mother. But chie y our prayer is gratitude and trust. We thank Thee that man has always been feeling after Thee, though sometimes blindly groping, and that thou hast never been far from any one of us. Thou didst seek us before we could seek Thee. Forever has it been true that Thou hast stood at the door and knocked, ready at the opening of the door to come in and abide with us. As fast and as far as we have made room for Thee, Thou hast come into the brain as truth, into the heart as love, and into the life as noble action.

Book Description
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times; The New York Times Book Review; NPR; Publishers Weekly “This absorbing and important book recounts the titanic struggle over the implications of the Civil War amid the impeachment of a defiant and temperamentally erratic American president.”—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Soul of America When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and Vice-President Andrew Johnson became “the Accidental President,” it was a dangerous time in America. Congress was divided over how the Union should be reunited: when and how the secessionist South should regain full status, whether former Confederates should be punished, and when and whether black men should be given the vote. Devastated by war and resorting to violence, many white Southerners hoped to restore a pre–Civil War society, if without slavery, and the pugnacious Andrew Johnson seemed to share their goals. With the unchecked power of executive orders, Johnson ignored Congress, pardoned rebel leaders, promoted white supremacy, opposed civil rights, and called Reconstruction unnecessary. It fell to Congress to stop the American president who acted like a king. With profound insights and making use of extensive research, Brenda Wineapple dramatically evokes this pivotal period in American history, when the country was rocked by the first-ever impeachment of a sitting American president. And she brings to vivid life the extraordinary characters who brought that impeachment forward: the willful Johnson and his retinue of advocates—including complicated men like Secretary of State William Seward—as well as the equally complicated visionaries committed to justice and equality for all, like Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass, and Ulysses S. Grant. Theirs was a last-ditch, patriotic, and Constitutional effort to render the goals of the Civil War into reality and to make the Union free, fair, and whole. Praise for The Impeachers “In this superbly lyrical work, Brenda Wineapple has plugged a glaring hole in our historical memory through her vivid and sweeping portrayal of President Andrew Johnson’s 1868 impeachment. She serves up not simply food for thought but a veritable feast of observations on that most trying decision for a democracy: whether to oust a sitting president. Teeming with fiery passions and unforgettable characters, The Impeachers will be devoured by contemporary readers seeking enlightenment on this issue. . . . A landmark study.”—Ron Chernow, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Grant
