The volume deals with the politics of the 1850s and with the plunge into civil war. Professor Ashworth offers a new way of understanding the conflict between North and South and shows how northern free labor increasingly came into conflict with southern slavery as a result of both changes in the northern economy and the structural weaknesses of slavery. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 American Civil War|c(United States :|d1861-1865)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1351658 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 0 Slavery|xEconomic aspects|zUnited States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010113247|xHistory |y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 7 Slavery|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1120438 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 651 0 United States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85140130|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012475 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xCauses. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140219 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140422 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAshworth, John.|tSlavery, capitalism, and politics in the antebellum republic.
