Why was the United States the only nation in the world to fight a war to end slavery? Fleming looks at the reasons of why the Civil War was fought, and shows that the polarization that divided the North and South and led to the Civil War began decades earlier than most historians are willing to admit-- back almost to the founding of the nation itself.
