Slavery, Race, and Conquest in the Tropics: Lincoln, Douglas, and the Future of Latin America
May, Robert E. (Purdue University, Indiana)
This book reinterprets the causes of the American Civil War. Using Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas's famed rivalry as a prism, Robert E. May shows that when Lincoln and fellow Republicans opposed slavery in the West, they did so partly because of evidence that slaveholders planned to make Cuba, Mexico, and Central America into new slave states.
