Excerpt from The First Year of the War
IT is scarcely necessary to state that the following pages have been written without any thing like literary ambition. They have been composed by the author, with but little aid, within the short period of three months, and in the midst of exacting occupations in the editorial department of a daily newspaper.
These explanations are not made to disarm criticism. Their purpose is only to define the claim which the author's work makes at the bar of public criticism. He does not pretend to have written a brilliant or elaborate book; but he does claim to have composed, without seeking after literary ornaments, or taxing his style with intellectual refinements, a compact, faith ful, and independent popular narrative of the events of the first year of the existing war.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book by renowned author Edward A. Pollard comprehensively details the events leading up to the American Civil War by analyzing political, ideological, and social developments before and during the year 1861. Providing a meticulous account, the author recounts the erosion of the Union as the anti-slavery movement gained traction in the North. Beginning with the Missouri Restriction in 1820, Pollard traces this evolution through the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Dred Scott decision in 1857, and John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. By the time Abraham Lincoln took office in 1861, secessionist sentiment had taken hold across the South, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities that led to the Civil War, and the profound impact it had on the United States.
