New England’s unique role in the tumultuous events of the Civil War is explored.

Decades after the ideal of all men being created equal first emerged, New England states were still reaping the benefits of slavery despite their abolitionist values. But from the small towns of Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island and New Hampshire to the cities of Massachusetts and Connecticut, patriotic rallies and recruiting drives heralded a second revolution aimed at guaranteeing rights for all.
