Access To History: The Origins of the American Civil War 1846-61, 2nd Edition - Softcover
This second edition has been updated to take account of recently-published historical interpretations on the period. The text provides a detailed account of the causes of the American Civil War, identifying slavery as central to the dispute between Northern and Southern American states during the mid-nineteenth century. The author offers a stimulating account of the nature of the slave industry and its relationship to national conflict, and an assessment of the complex political circumstances that surrounded the outbreak of war.

Review:
These two volumes [this text and The American Civil War 1861-65] have become, de facto, standard pupil texts for the period...These books look set to remain the market leader for this topic as they are accessible to both staff and pupils alike and provide a starting point for deeper research and I commend them for that.
