Paperback. Etat : New. In Becoming American under Fire, Christian G. Samito provides a rich account of how African American and Irish American soldiers influenced the modern vision of national citizenship that developed during the Civil War era. By bearing arms for the Union, African Americans and Irish Americans exhibited their loyalty to the United States and their capacity to act as citizens; they strengthened their American identity in the process. Members of both groups also helped to redefine the legal meaning and political practices of American citizenship. For African American soldiers, proving manhood in combat was only one aspect to their quest for acceptance as citizens. As Samito reveals, by participating in courts-martial and protesting against unequal treatment, African Americans gained access to legal and political processes from which they had previously been excluded. The experience of African Americans in the military helped shape a postwar political movement that successfully called for rights and protections regardless of race. For Irish Americans, soldiering in the Civil War was part of a larger affirmation of republican government and it forged a bond between their American citizenship and their Irish nationalism. The wartime experiences of Irish Americans helped bring about recognition of their full citizenship through naturalization and also caused the United States to pressure Britain to abandon its centuries-old policy of refusing to recognize the naturalization of British subjects abroad. As Samito makes clear, the experiences of African Americans and Irish Americans differed substantially-and at times both groups even found themselves violently opposed-but they had in common that they aspired to full citizenship and inclusion in the American polity. Both communities were key participants in the fight to expand the definition of citizenship that became enshrined in constitutional amendments and legislation that changed the nation.

Hardback. Etat : New. Long before the Civil War, Abraham Lin­coln recognized the challenge American slavery posed to the ideals of the Decla­ration of Independence. A constitutional amendment would be the ideal solution to ending slavery, yet the idea of such an amendment conflicted with several of Lincoln's long-held positions. In this study, Christian G. Samito examines how Lincoln's opposition to amending the United States Constitution shaped his political views before he became president, and how constitutional argu­ments overcame Lincoln's objections, turning him into a supporter of the Thir­teenth Amendment by 1864-65.For most of his political career, Samito shows, Lincoln disputed chang­ing the constitution, even to overturn rulings with which he disagreed. Well into his presidency, he argued that emancipation could take place only on the state level because the federal gov­ernment had no jurisdiction to control slavery in the states. Between Janu­ary 1863 and mid-1864, however, Lin­coln came to support a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery because it worked within the constitutional structure and preserved key compo­nents of American constitutionalism in the face of Radical Republican schemes.Samito chronicles lobbying efforts, the final vote in the House on the amend­ment resolution, and various charges of corruption and back-room deals. He also considers the Hampton Roads conference, Lincoln's own thoughts on the meaning of the amendment, and the impact of Lincoln's assassination on the reading of the amendment. Closing with a lively discussion that applies the Thir­teenth Amendment to current events, this concise yet comprehensive volume demonstrates how the constitutional change Lincoln helped bring about con­tinues to be relevant today.
