Summary note
Andrew Heath shows how Philadelphians looked to consolidate their city across internal social and sectional divisions as the republic fell apart in the Civil War era. Rallying to the cry ""In Union There Is Strength, "" their battles over what a modern metropolis ought to be reveals how a city of mobs became a city of neighborhoods.
