This book unravels the political developments that made the Civil
War unavoidable. Politics and America in Crisis: The Coming of the
Civil War examines the developments between 1846 and 1861 that
pushed the nation to war to see what they reveal about the North,
the South, the people leading them, and the issues separating them.
As shown here, in the decade and a half before the actual outbreak
of the war, the mostly southern Democratic Party's fortunes veered
from a presidential election victory in 1852 to the shocking loss
of Abraham Lincoln in 1860—an event that marked the coming of age
of the young antislavery Republican Party. In examining that sharp
reversal, Politics and America in Crisis covers a wide range of key
events, including efforts to ban slavery in territories won in the
Mexican-American War, the Dred Scott decision, and John Brown's
raids.
