Excerpt from Reminiscences of General Basil W. Duke, C. S. A
Both sections were alarmed. The one feared an unrestricted extension of slavery into the public domain; the other feared its abolition. The South saw safety only in secession. The North believed that, with the dissolution of the Union, permanent peace upon this continent would be impossible. There was assuredly an intelligible apprehension, if not a sufficient cam: belli, on both sides.
