This book analyses the political climate in the years leading up to the American Civil War. John Ashworth argues that the Civil War was caused by the maturing of the North and South's separate, distinctive forms of social organisation and their resulting ideologies. By emphasising factors often overlooked, Ashworth provides a new interpretation of the American Civil War's causes.
