CSA. history of the confederacy. military history. politics. political philosophy. ~ The Civil War was fought for thirty years before the mounting antagonisms between the sections exploded in the clash of arms. From Nullification in 1832 until Fort Sumter in 1861 constituted a long period of cold war, even by today's standards. Men who opposed one another in the opening phases of the conflict had gone to their rewards when the shooting began, and the generation in the South which was to die had not been born when South Carolina first defied the Union. The quarrel was passed on, like the baton in a relay race, from generation to generation, until the men who settled it in the bloodiest violence had little notion of what had started it. IN THE LAND THEY FOUGHT FOR, Clifford Dowdey surveys the gathering storm~the disparity between North and South economically, South Carolina's defiance of the federal Tariff Act of 1832, the stark horror of Nat Turner's Rebellion and its subsequent harvest of fear, and the conflict between ways of life within the South itself. In this stirring and thoughtful work we see Davis, Calhoun, Toombs, Stephens, Jackson, Lee, all waiting to take their parts in the tragedy that was to be played out on their own beloved land. From Mr. Dowdey's story of the Civil War itself~from Fort Sumter to Appomattox~emerges the unforgettable picture of a young army that grew into the dedicated and valiant force that fought for Lee ~ and for the land of the South. This fourth volume to appear in THE MAINSTREAM OF AMERICA SERIES deals with the Civil War and its origins as they grew out of and affected the South, as well as the devastating effects of the war on the currents of our society today. This is history, accurate and moving, seen through the eyes of the men who lived it~and told in a masterly fashion by one of today's most eminent historians. Seller Inventory # 4102201
