Query: Secession Explained

Anyone who has read antebellum American history needs only to notice the editors of this book to see the necessity of having it and reading it. Prof. Freehling and Professor Simpson are the brightest of the stars in the history galaxy. The book brings together the unioonists and Secessionists in one short volume. The speeches are not abreviated by the editors, and are for sure a good reason for having this book. It will introduce the casual reader to the great thinkers of the separation movement in the South. We owe these two scholars a great deal for this work.
