Book Description
Charles Dew’s Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states’ secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of our great national crisis. The fifteen years since the original publication of Apostles of Disunion have seen an intensification of debates surrounding the Confederate flag and Civil War monuments. In a powerful new afterword to this anniversary edition, Dew situates the book in relation to these recent controversies and factors in the role of vast financial interests tied to the internal slave trade in pushing Virginia and other upper South states toward secession and war.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Causes of Secession In a broad view of American history the War of Secession between American states may be regarded as one of the struggles of anglo-saxon people for independence, individual liberty and local self-government. A very fine interpretation of American history is to be found in a small volume con sisting of a series of lectures delivered by Henry Van Dyke in France, on The Spirit of. America. This book might well be used as a text in our high schools and colleges and would furnish a key to a comprehensive understanding of the movements in American history from the earliest settlement to the present time. I am persuaded that the people of the Northern and Eastern sections of our republic are equally de voted with the people of the South to the principles of local self-government and individual liberty, which is but another way of expressing the doctrine of States' Rights with the exception of secession. I am quite sure any feeling of hostility towards the people of those sections no longer exists, and that there is the same love for the ideals of the Federal Republic among the people of the South that there was when our independence was achieved and when we joined with people of other sections in erecting a Federal Government to promote the general welfare and to provide for the common defense.

Book Description
Slavery is the first thing people point to when talking about the War of Northern Tyranny against the South. While slavery was one of the causes, the move to secession was due to a multitude of unconstitutional acts of the US against the South.

Book Description
"The causes of the Civil War brings into sharp focus the major issues, real or imaginied, that divided northerners and southerners in a disastrous national crisis. Juxtaposing articles and speeches by men who lived through the struggle with the interpretations of post-Civil War historians, Kenneth M. Stampp brings face to face spokesmen for the major schools of thought. Was slavery the determinig cause? Can the blame be laid either to 'Black Republican' agitation or to the ruthless machinations of a 'Slave Power' conspiracy? Was the war an 'irrepressible conflict' between an agrarian South and an industrialized North? This volume provides no answers. Rather, the readings--including several new selections--reveal the uncertainty about the war's causes that has repeatedly driven historians back to the sources. They help us to enlarge our knowledge and deepen our understanding of the differences that set brother against brother."--Page 4 of cover.
