Apostles of Disunion by Charles B Dew
Charles Dew's Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states' secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of Americas great national crisis.
“Dew has produced an eye-opening study. . . So much for states’ rights as the engine of secession.” —James M. McPherson, New York Review of Books
“This is an important study, meticulously researched and convincingly argued.” —James Oliver Horton, author of The Landmarks of African American History
“This incisive history should dispel the pernicious notion that the Confederacy fought the Civil War to advance the constitutional principle of states’ rights and only coincidentally to preserve slavery.” —Allen d. Boyer, New York Times Book Review
