Summary

By the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States was a deeply divided nation. The North and South clashed over many issues -- economic issues, how to organize new land in the West, and in particular, the South's "peculiar institution," slavery. This book uncovers the roots of the Civil War, highlighting the roles played by key individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis
