Book Talk: “A Hell of a Storm”
- This event has passed. Check back for the future dates.
While the history of the United States is marked by chapters of polarization, few political moments have ever proved as divisive as the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. In the words of historian David Brown, it was “the most lethal piece of legislation ever to clear Congress” and it spurred radical thoughts of disunion, a “mini-civil war.” Brown places William Seward at the center of this story in this discussion of his new book, “A Hell of a Storm.”
