Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the causes of the American Civil War, with a particular focus on the differing views on slavery held by the North and South. The author argues that the Republican party's opposition to the expansion of slavery into new territories was a major factor in the secession of the Southern states. The book also explores the arguments for and against secession, and the role of violence in the outbreak of the war. Ultimately, the author concludes that the Civil War was a complex conflict with no easy answers, and that the issues that led to the war continue to resonate in American politics today.
