A native of Tennessee, Professor Bonner holds an undergraduate degree from Princeton and a doctorate from Yale. At Dartmouth, he offers courses on the American Civil War, on nineteenth-century politics, and on the transatlantic "age of emancipation." His research on political and cultural history includes: Colors and Blood: Flag Passions of the Confederate South (Princeton University Press), The Soldiers Pen: Firsthand Impressions of the American Civil War (Hill and Wang); and Mastering America: Southern Slaveholders and the Crisis of American Nationhood (Cambridge University Press). He is currently researching the geopolitics of American slavery and writing a biography of Alexander H. Stephens, the Georgia politician who identified slavery as the "cornerstone" of the Confederate States of America.
