The landmark political study of South Carolina's secession and
governance during the Civil War. First published in 1950 and long
sought by collectors and historians, ""South Carolina Goes to War,
1860-1865"" stands as the only institutional and political history
of the Palmetto State's secession from the Union, entry into the
Confederacy, and management of the war effort. Charles Edward
Cauthen's germinal study offers a thorough examination of the
state's political leadership and policymaking during the secession
crisis and the subsequent four years of war. Notable for its
attention to the precursors of war too often neglected in other
studies, the volume devotes half of its chapters to events
predating the firing on Fort Sumter and pays significant attention
to the Executive Councils of 1861 and 1862. This edition features a
new introduction by J. Tracy Power summarizing the political
climate that characterized South Carolina's departure from the
Union and entrance into war, and examining the significance of
Cauthen's book within the context of its initial creation and
reception.
