Jonathan Worth cover

Jonathan Worth, lawyer, businessman, public financier, and finally governor of North Carolina, typified the Union advocate of the antebellum South. This skillful biography explores in detail Worth's efforts to avoid secession in 1861, his lack of enthusiasm for the Civil War, and his rejection of the reconstruction proposals.
