Haris Maihadi
reviewed The men of secession and Civil War, 1859-1861 on September 24, 2013 The men of secession and Civil War
Thorough and well researched, Abrahamson studies this period of years leading up to secession through a sociological lens. He studies the men of the period and how their actions and reaction brought the country to war.
This book was an easy and enjoyable read and an interesting look to the men who stood on either side of the issue.
