A Romance Of The Republic

""A Romance of the Republic"" is a novel written by Lydia Maria Child, first published in 1867. The story is set during the tumultuous years leading up to the American Civil War and follows the lives of two young lovers, David Lee and Ellen Murray. David is a wealthy young man from the North who is deeply committed to the abolitionist cause, while Ellen is a beautiful and spirited Southern belle who is torn between her loyalty to her family and her growing love for David. As tensions between the North and South escalate, David and Ellen find themselves caught up in the midst of the conflict, facing challenges and dangers that threaten to tear them apart. Through their struggles, the novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for freedom and justice in a divided nation. Child's novel is a powerful and moving portrayal of the complex social and political issues that shaped American history in the mid-19th century, and it remains a classic of American literature today.Mr. Fitzgerald lingered on the wharf till the vessel containing his treasure was no longer visible.
