The Slave States in the Presidential Election of 1860

Ollinger Crenshaw

4.9/5 (26087 ratings)

Description:Within recent years several scholarly studies have appeared which directly or indirectly focus upon the presidential election of 1860 and the eve of the Civil War. Reinhard H. Luthin's The First Lincoln Campaign (Cambridge, 1944) is the first comprehensive re-study of this important election to appear since the publication of Emerson D. Fite's pioneer monograph in 1911. Several others books, all largely concerned with Lincoln or the North, by James G. Randall, David M. Potter, William E. Baringer, and Dwight L. Dumond, have presented a fairly complete picture of the Northern, or free state, aspects of the fateful election. In one of these, however, is a thoroughgoing study made of the shades of political opinion in the Southern, or slave state, areas, interaction of Southern ideas, and the reaction in the South to Northern events. The present volume attempts to set forth these shades of political opinion held by individuals and groups in the then far from solid South--area by area, and, at the risk of repetition, state by state. Perhaps a better understanding of this complex and critical presidential contest may be gained by a consideration of the ideas, plans, and actions of Southern leaders and as, far as possible, of the Southern rank and file. At least it is hoped that these pages may fill such gaps as exist and supplement the aforementioned studies. -- Preface.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
