Author:
Stephens, Alexander H.
Title:
A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States
Summary:
A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States; it's Causes, Character, Conduct and Results; the book was a sensation in its day, evoking attacks by Northern and Southern champions of causes upon which it impinged.
Review–the only flaw and yes it is a big one–is denying preservation of slavery was the primary cause of secession, but Stephens defense of the legal right to secede is hard to refute, an absolute classic of law and history; a must read for anyone who wishes to alter or abolish the regime under which they live.
