Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by renowned author Edward A. Pollard comprehensively details the events leading up to the American Civil War by analyzing political, ideological, and social developments before and during the year 1861. Providing a meticulous account, the author recounts the erosion of the Union as the anti-slavery movement gained traction in the North. Beginning with the Missouri Restriction in 1820, Pollard traces this evolution through the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Dred Scott decision in 1857, and John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. By the time Abraham Lincoln took office in 1861, secessionist sentiment had taken hold across the South, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War.
