Why the Civil War Came brings a talented chorus of voices together to recapture        the feel of a very different time and place, helping the reader to grasp more fully        the commencement of our bloodiest war. From William W. Freehling's discussion of the        peculiarities of North American slavery to Charles Royster's disturbing piece on the        combatants' savage readiness to fight, the contributors bring to life the climate of        a country on the brink of disaster. Editor Gabor Boritt examines the struggle's        central figure, Lincoln himself, illuminating in the years leading up to the war a        blindness on the future president's part, an unwillingness to confront the looming        calamity that was about to smash the nation asunder. William E. Gienapp notes        perhaps the most unsettling fact about the Civil War, that democratic institutions        could not resolve the slavery issue without resorting to violence on an epic        scale.With gripping detail, Why the Civil War Came takes readers back to a country        fraught with bitterness, confusion, and hatred--a country ripe for a war of        unprecedented bloodshed--to show why democracy failed, and violence reigned.
