Description
A examine of the church’s role in bringing on secession and selling the Civil War, by means of the creator of Mississippi: The Closed Society.
On this closely documented examine, Professor James W. Silver examines the role of the church within the South throughout the Civil War: what phase it played as a formidable social establishment in shaping the mind of the South, bringing on secession, and selling the war, and to what extent its efforts succeeded or failed.
