Synopsis

This book examines the American Civil War through the lens of law, particularly the Law of Nations, which is viewed as being paramount in guiding the actions and determining the guilt or innocence of the States involved. The author, a former politician with a strong understanding of legal principles, traces the history of the conflict back to the origins of the Puritans and their fanatical religious beliefs, and explores how these beliefs shaped the political and social landscape of the United States. The book challenges the traditional narrative of the war, arguing that the Southern States were justified in their actions based on the principles of State Sovereignty and the right to self-government. It also delves into the complex relationship between the federal and state governments, and the role of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln in escalating the conflict. Ultimately, the book presents a compelling argument for re-evaluating the causes and consequences of the Civil War.
