Throughout the 1850s, tensions over slavery continued to divide the Northern and Southern states. Finally, after the election of Abraham Lincoln - who didn’t win a single southern state - seven of the fifteen slave states broke away from the Union, hoping the other eight slave states would join them.
Chris Calton gives a revisionist look at the antebellum period leading up to the Civil War. This is the 24th and final episode in the second season of Historical Controversies.
