  • What They Fought For Sparknotes

    In the book, What They Fought For by James McPherson, the topic is the motivation behind the soldiers that fought for the Confederates as well as the Union, along with their perception of slavery during the Civil War from 1861-1865. This work gives a plethora of diverse quotes from soldiers living in the deep south of Louisiana to up north in Massachusetts with everything in between, which makes it impossible to assign this book to one location.

Ultimately, after reading the literature, I think the author achieved supporting his thesis with an abundance of facts and research. McPherson organized this piece

  • Summary Of Why The War Came By David Donald

    515 Words  | 3 Pages

    The general argument made by David Herbert Donald in Why the War Came: The Sectional Struggle over Slavery in the Territories is that the issue of slavery in the national territories started the Civil War. More specifically, Donald argues that the Kansas-Nebraska Act, crafted by Stephen A. Douglas, revived the issue of slavery in the territories and divided the nation into hostile sections which turned the great forces that once cement American unity into a tool that further divided the nation. Donald points out that North detested slavery to the conception of slavery as being un-American and was the main reason why the South was lagging behind. In order to abolish slavery, the North, who held the majority in the national government, acted on the regulation of national territories. The national territories were one of the few areas that the North could act against slavery since they did not have power over slavery within the states it existed.
