The author seeks to challenge the long-held perceptions of the
politics of the American Civil War. He presents the argument that
the Civil War was fought, not to preserve the Union or free the
slaves, but rather to establish the political power of the
Republican Party within the federal government. The author argues
further that Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party manipulated
events to bring about the Civil War in the first place and used the
war as a pretext for the establishment of the modern central
government.
