	"Newburyport and the Civil War" by William Hallett (History Press, 2012) Newburyport did not host any battles during the Civil War, but its impact on the mid-nineteenth century confrontation was vast. Conflict before the war arose as antebellum Newburyport did not like abolitionists, including the Port’s own William Lloyd Garrison. Read about the first troops to answer President Lincoln’s call for volunteers and the hero, Albert W. Bartlett. Soldiers served in almost every action, our shipyards built ships for the Navy’s need, and the citizens did their part. Add to these stories two sons of the Clipper City who served the Rebels – one as a general! These stories and more illustrate Newburyport and the Civil War.
