Causes of the Civil War

This audiobook challenges the traditional narratives surrounding the causes of the Civil War, arguing that modern historians often overlook key economic and political factors. It suggests that Northern policies, such as tariffs and the rejection of popular sovereignty, played significant roles in escalating tensions, and highlights that Southern secession was perhaps driven by a desire for independence rather than aims to overthrow the government. The book encourages a re-examination of the widely accepted stories about the conflict’s origins.
