Summary
This book takes you to and beyond the battlefield at Gettysburg, to cities and towns throughout the state where Pennsylvanians fought over the meaning of the Union even as they fought for it. By the time the Civil War began in 1861, white and black Pennsylvanians along the state's southern border-in towns like Sadsbury, Coatesville, and Christiana-had been fighting with slave owners and catchers for a decade. And, more than a year after Lee's Army of Northern Virginia left southcentral Pennsylvania, the town of Chambersburg survived another, even more devastating Confederate invasion. For much longer than four years, Pennsylvanians waged war at home and abroad, to save the Union and to rethink its founding principles. Keystone State in Crisis tells that story. [from the publisher]

Summary
"This plan is a blue print and a series of first steps to build that kind of community and those kinds of systems. It is open-ended enough to allow residents who are struggling with these issues to sit at the leadership table and guide not just the details of the implementation of this document, but also its inevitable and expected evolution. What works on Duke Street may not work on Queen Street. What works in the Southeast may not work in the Southwest. This plan must remain flexible. This plan is also firm in its insistence that residents who understand poverty best must be at the table shoulder to shoulder with clergy, employers, policymakers, academics and the nonprofits that have initially agreed to be accountable for the process. Every sector of our community must be engaged. This plan is a call to action: to bring your wisdom and energy to bear on this crucial starting point,and work with us to make this imperfect plan more perfect through your effort. There will be much to do now that this document has been bound and released: specialized action teams to fill with people who can get things done across a broad spectrum of goals. We hope you’'re one of those people." [from the forward]
