The book delves into the intricate and contentious origins of the American Civil War, exploring the various political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the conflict, particularly focusing on the issues surrounding slavery and secession. The opening of the volume provides a retrospective view of the political landscape leading up to the Civil War, emphasizing the historical background of slavery in America from its introduction in the early 17th century to the tensions that escalated into a national crisis. Logan sets the stage by outlining the struggles of early American leaders to navigate the contentious issue of slavery, including the compromises made in the founding documents like the Constitution, as well as the impact of territorial acquisitions and economic policies that continuously fed the discord between the North and South. He highlights key moments and significant legislative events that laid the groundwork for future conflicts, demonstrating the persistent agitation and sectional divisions that ultimately led to armed rebellion.
