Calculating the Value of the Union: Slavery, Property Rights, and the Economic Origins of the Civil War - Civil War America
James L. Huston
While slavery is often at the heart of debates over the causes of the US Civil War, historians are not agreed on precisely what aspect of slavery gave rise to the sectional rift. In Calculating the Value of the Union, James Huston integrates economic, social, and political history to argue that the issue of property rights as it pertained to slavery was at the center of the conflict.
