It can be argued that the road
to the Civil War began before the United States was
officially founded. The seeds of the conflict lay in the
different paths that the North and the South were already
traveling at the time of the Revolution, with the major
fault line being the issue of slavery. The historical
documents and writings included in this book mark important
points on the path starting with the Missouri Compromise to
the Civil War's conclusion. These documents display how
slavery became the overriding domestic conflict of the first
half of the 19th Century and show the different ways that
Congress tried to resolve the future of slavery in an
expanding nation. The speeches of several key politicians
and writers are included to provide insight into rhetoric of
the time. From the Missouri Compromise to the Surrender at
Appomattox contains very little commentary by its editors,
other than to frame the documents in their historical
context. Instead it is designed to let the documents speak
for themselves.
