Acerca de esta escucha

Was the Civil War really about slavery? Or was it a war fought over money? Civil War historian Samuel W. Mitcham Jr., (Vicksburg, Bust Hell Wide Open) opens his fascinating new book, It Wasn't About Slavery, with Dr. Grady McWhiney's claim that "what passes as standard American history is really Yankee history written by New Englanders or their puppets to glorify Yankee heroes and ideals".

Relying on 19th-century sources, Mitcham lays out his case that slavery was not the primary cause of the Civil War and that the Civil War narrative taught in schools today is wildly misleading.

Very detailed events that led to the war

This book describes in great detail the events that led to the war and gives the listener quotes and numerical figures that seem to be left out of the narrative of this time period. The author does have some biases, however, if the listener can get past these biases I believe this book will paint a clearer picture of the people and events of this time period.

More educational information

I hate to say this , but probably more information ( a little bias ), than what most students get in an year. You see a lot of the same issues today. Awesome book with eye opening regalia! You should definitely read !

A great book for those taught by history teachers

This book gives a huge eye opener to a person like myself who was taught that the war was all about slavery. The book delves into just how damn corrupt our government has been since day one. Even if you think this book is biased it makes you look at the big picture.

Essential to understanding Southern pride

In a world dominated by Critical Race Theory and the false narratives which accompany it, this book provides much-needed context and perspective. The author makes a compelling arguments that the South cannot be blamed for the war and was ultimately a victim, that the South had just cause and legal right to secede, and that the North profited more from slavery and the slave trade than the South ever did or could.

Unquestionably a Southern apology, but this book has me ready to fly the Stars and Bars. Don't settle for Yankee history without first knowing the other side of the story.

Quite an interesting book

I read the reviews beforehand and was teetering on purchasing this book. The narration, as mentioned by other reviewers, is a bit overdone. However, I’d rather have the extra flair than a dull, flat, monotone reading. Plenty of facts and sources throughout. The book does lay out some exceptions vs. the “rule” when bringing up some points. If you’re looking for a book that explores the darker side of the North/Union, then you should get what you’re looking for.

Wow!

I’d heard there was a back story to the civil war but never really thought much of it, after reading this book I wonder if we’re not tearing down the wrong statues…

Tariffs

This book makes a strong case for the impact that money specifically tariffs had on the war as the majority of federal income was obtained from the south yet most federal improvements were constructed in the North. In addition wish more books stressed the significance of the Nullification crisis.
