{"product_id":"the-coming-of-the-civil-war-isbn-9780882958613","title":"The Coming of the Civil War","description":"This book explores the interrelated themes of modernization and slavery, issues that created reform movements in the North, defensive sectionalism in the South, social disruption, and a general failure of political leadership. During this period the Union underwent the increasing strains of uneven social and economic development. Modernization and slavery provide the backdrop for the action and reaction of northern and southern players who sought but ultimately failed to allow an accommodation that would let competing social and economic institutions coexist.  \u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChronology of Events xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGenesis of Colonial Slavery 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Constitutional Debate on Slavery 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegional Development and New Discord 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImpact of Reform 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter One: Tensions 18\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbolitionism and National Politics 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmerging Sectionalism 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStates’ Rights: Theory and Practice 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDepression and the Second American Party System 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSouthern Fears 34\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe High Tide of Reform 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter Two: A Temporary Armistice 45\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTippecanoe, Tyler, and Texas 46\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExpansion and War with Mexico 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStalemate 54\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCalifornia and Compromise 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Prophetic Statement 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter Three: Kansas, First Phase 69\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhig Disintegration 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYoung America 74\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Kansas-Nebraska Bill 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBirth of the Republican Party 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBleeding Kansas 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter Four: Disruption 96\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Election of 1856 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDred Scott 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKansas, Second Phase 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLincoln and Douglas 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn Brown’s Raid on Harpers Ferry 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePanic and Political Paralysis 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter Five: Disunion 121\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Election of 1860 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Lower South Secedes 130\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuchanan and the National Crisis 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWar Begins 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliographical Explanations 144\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 175\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaps\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe United States in 1850 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Kansas Nebraska Act, 1854 68\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Election of 1860 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJohn Niven is the author of The Coming of the Civil War: 1837 - 1861, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990190768357,"sku":"NP9780882958613","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780882958613.jpg?v=1761786853","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-coming-of-the-civil-war-isbn-9780882958613","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
