The Causes Of The Civil War
Was the Civil War inevitable? What really caused it? Drawing on original
sources--from Jefferson Davis to Frederick Douglass--and interpretive
essays by todays most influential historians, this collection of essays gives
a vivid sense of the political, economic, and cultural currents that swept the
nation to war.
Personal Review: The Causes of the Civil War: Revised Edition
(Touchstone)
I'm sort of surprised at the first two reviews. The first gentleman refers to
the book as "drivel," even though Stampp used mostly primary sources.
The second reviewer falls victim to the Neo-Confederate idea that slavery
had nothing to do with the American Civil War--while clumsily avoiding the
incredible mountain of primary sources that prove slavery WAS an issue.
Stampp's book is a cornerstone of Civil War Historiography, and any
serious student of the American Civil War would do well to read this

excellent book. Don't be put off by the fact that The Causes of the Civil
War was originally a textbook--it is both readable, and a quick read.
