At the Precipice: Americans North and South during the Secession Crisis - Littlefield History of the Civil War Era
Shearer Davis Bowman
Why did eleven slave states secede from the Union in 1860-61? Why did the eighteen free states loyal to the Union deny the legitimacy of secession? At the Precipice answers these and related questions by focusing on the different ways in which Americans, North and South, black and white, understood their interests, rights, and honour during the late antebellum years.
