Apostles of Disunion

A modern classic and indispensable account, Charles Dew's *Apostles of Disunion* compellingly argues that slavery and race were foundational to the Southern states' secession and the Civil War. This anniversary edition features a powerful new afterword, in which Dew connects the book's themes to current debates surrounding Confederate symbols and examines how the vast financial interests of the internal slave trade propelled upper South states toward secession.
