Michael F. Holt

W. W. Norton & Company, 1983

Beyond rudimentary answers
Serious students of the Civil War have to address three important questions regarding its origins. First, one must account for the timing of the conflict.

What made 1861 different from other flashpoints in the slavery debate such as the annexation of Texas, the 1850 Compromise, the Dred Scott decision, ...

By One Vote: The Disputed Presidential Election of 1876 (American Presidential Elections)

Hill and Wang, 2005

Excellent introduction to a misunderstood topic
In The Fate of Their Country, Professor Holt skillfully and helpfully clarifies the vexed question of slavery extension, a controversy that played an important role in dividing North and South and setting the stage for war.
