Inhaltsangabe

This book by the author examines the roots of the American Civil War, tracing the arc of historical events and collisions of ideas that culminated in the conflict. The work argues that despite the overt cause being slavery, the war was kindled by decades of ideological and economic tensions between the North and South. The author argues that these tensions emerged from the very inception of the United States, born of contrasting cultural identities that were shaped by the differing social structures, modes of production, and systems of labor in the two regions. The author illuminates the contrasts between the Southern aristocracy and their agrarian society, based on enslaved labor, and the burgeoning commercial interests of the North. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in American history or the causes of the American Civil War.
