Mr. Buchanan's Administration on the Eve of the Rebellion

This book details the rising conflict within the nation as Southern slave holding states argued with Northern abolitionists and anti-slavery societies as to whether or not slavery should continue to flourish in the United States. Feeling the pressures of the unbearable tension between the North and the South, Buchanan tried desperately to compromise, pleading with both sides over this burning issue. He repeatedly warned his countrymen, at every opportunity, of the imminent danger they were putting the country in and advised them of the means to avoid the certainty of a civil war. Despite his efforts, Congress rejected his recommendations. The result was the escalation of a conflict that led to the secession of the South and one of the bloodiest battles in our nation’s history.
