Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the origins and goals of the anti-democratic conspiracy of slaveholders who spearheaded the Civil War. The author reveals the depth of the secessionist plot through speeches and writings from key figures like Andrew Jackson Hamilton and Lorenzo Sherwood, as well as publications from the Democratic League. The book highlights the incompatible nature of slavery and democracy, a conflict that fueled the secessionists' determination to create a new government that would protect their way of life. The author argues that the primary goal of the rebels was to establish a monarchy, which they believed was the only form of government that could adequately safeguard slavery. The book presents a nuanced analysis of the ideological underpinnings of the rebellion, emphasizing the existential threat it posed to democratic principles. It concludes by underscoring the enduring relevance of this conflict for understanding the ongoing struggle between authoritarianism and democracy.
