What Caused the Civil War?: Reflections on the South and Southern History
The past of the American South, with its peculiarities of tragic proportions-a system of slavery flourishing in a land of freedom, secession and Civil War tearing at the Union, poverty persisting in a nation of fast-paced development-is fertile ground for great works of history. Here in wide-ranging essays, today's foremost Southern historian turns over the rich soil of life in the South.
