For those of you that thought the American Civil
War was simply an internal conflict that arose due to
slavery, noted historian
and
patriot W. Allen Salisbury has studied the subject carefully and after
reading his book you may just rethink your position.
Far from being simply a war about slavery, the American Civil War was a fight
for the right of a sovereign nation state republic to exist on this planet,
free from the tyranny of the British Empire. Leaders such as Abraham Lincoln,
Henry and Matthew Carey, proudly carried on the work of their forefathers, the
founding fathers of the United States to promote and uphold the American System
of
economics. Ranged against them were the forces representing the British
system of free
trade not only represented by Adam Smith Montesquieu and others
but also by a group of traitors inside the United States who, while professing
their love of tariffs and protectionism (the American System) used their
positions of power to undermine this very same system.
Salisbury''''s insight into the American Civil War is not just a dry recitation of
names, dates and places as so many historical books are, he brings to life the
words and ideas of patriots such as Lincoln, the Careys, William Elder and
others to prove their arguments in their own words.
