The Failure of Popular Sovereignty

Slavery, Manifest Destiny and the Radicalization of Southern Politics

Omschrijving

The first major history of popular sovereignty. Uses popular sovereignty as a lens for viewing the radicalization of southern states' rights politics, demonstrating how this misbegotten offspring of slavery and Manifest Destiny, though intended to assuage passions, instead worsened sectional differences, radicalized southerners, and paved the way for secession.
