Review of 'Apostles of Disunion: Southern Secession Commissioners and the Causes of the Civil War (Nation Divided: New Studies in Civil War History)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Very short (81 well-spaced pages), but fairly good. Provides plenty of evidence that the Civil War was a war fought over slavery rather than states' rights, but unfortunately doesn't really engage the other side. A bit repetitive too. Not nearly the knock-out punch to states' rights that it portrays itself to be, though only idiots and white supremacists argue that the Civil War was over states' rights.
