Description and Table of Contents

Description

The first volume of The Road to Disunion starts with Thomas Jefferson and his views on slavery and ends with the passage in 1854 of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which effectively extended slavery to the Western Plains. While the book focuses on the major political events of the period 1820 to 1854, it is also a broad study of Southern life and culture. It shows that there was no monolithic South, with one set of opinions and behaviour; rather each area had its own political views and internal conflicts.
