  • The Politics of the Civil War

    Jonathan Sutherland

    Library Binding (Mason Crest, Jan. 1, 2017)
    The North and the South had evolved in very different ways both economically and politically. In particular, the Souths agricultural economy revolved around the institution of slavery. When Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, the victory was seen by the South as the Norths attempt to impose its anti-slavery measures on it. This ultimately led to secession when Southern states started to cut their ties with the Union.

  • Slavery & The Abolition Movement

    Jonathan Sutherland

    Library Binding (Mason Crest, Jan. 1, 2017)
    The first African slaves were brought to Jamestown, Virginia in 1619 to work on plantations. However, it wasnt until the early 1830s that the modern abolition movement emerged in an effort to end slavery in a nation that viewed all men were created equally. The abolitionists condemned slavery on moral grounds while the slave owners wanted to perpetuate it. Over the following decades, the abolitionists strengthened their demands, fueling divisiveness, ultimately leading to Civil War.
