Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the United States Civil War and its aftermath. It presents a compelling perspective on the views of the founding fathers regarding the nature of the federal government and the limits of federal power. Specifically, the author focuses on the debates around federal coercion against defiant states. This book draws from historical documents and speeches to demonstrate how the founders believed that such coercion was unconstitutional and would inevitably lead to war. The author argues that President Lincoln's decision to use military force against the South was a radical departure from these original principles and set a dangerous precedent for the future. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Civil War, the development of the American federal system, and the ongoing debate over the proper role of the federal government.
