Prelude to Civil War: The Nullification Controversy in South Carolina, 1816-1836

Voorkant
Harper & Row, 1966 - 395 pagina's
"One cannot understand the coming of the Civil War without understanding the radicalism and rebelliousness of Sout Carolina. What were the sources of the Palmetto State's peculiarly intense quarrel with the Union? William Freehling has provided some answers to this question ... In dealing with the years 1816-1836, he has treated the nullification controversy, that earlier attempt of South Carolinians to defy the federal government, as a 'prelude to Civil War.' He has traced the emergence of attitudes and doctrines which were to be the direct and immediate cause of the tragic events of the 1860s"--Page 4 of cover.
