This is the first of a two-volume treatment of slavery, capitalism and politics in the forty years before the Civil War. It is both a Marxist reinterpretation of American political and economic development and a synthesis of existing scholarship on the economics of slavery, the origins of abolitionism, the proslavery argument and the second party system.
