Volume I: Secessionists at Bay, 1776-1854
Now, in the first volume of his long awaited, monumental study of the South's road        to disunion, historian William Freehling offers a sweeping political and social        history of the antebellum South from 1776 to 1854. All the dramatic events leading        to secession are here: the Missouri Compromise, the Nullification Controversy, the        Gag Rule, the Annexation of Texas, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska        Act. Vivid accounts of each crisis reveal the surprising extent to which slavery        influenced national politics before 1850 and provide important reinterpretations of        American republicanism, Jeffersonian states' rights, Jacksonian democracy, and the        causes of the American Civil War.Freehling's brilliant historical insights        illustrate a work of rich social observation. In the cities of the Antebellum South,        in the big house of a typical plantation, we feel anew the tensions between the        slaveowner and his family, poor whites and planters, the Old and New Souths, and        most powerfully between slave and master. Freehling has evoked the Old South in all        its color, cruelty, and diversity. It is a memorable portrait, certain to be a key        analysis of this crucial era in American history.
