Was the abolition of slavery really the cause? The repugnant\u003cbr\u003e practice of slavery, which was waning in the nineteenth century, was touted as\u003cbr\u003e the reason for the national schism. Was it, or was it emblematic for states’\u003cbr\u003e rights and control by the federal government?  Could the war been averted or was it funded by\u003cbr\u003e rich and powerful interests and industrialist who would profit by the war.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe reason, although academic, is still debated.  Were the confederates traitors or patriots?\u003cbr\u003e Alexander Hamilton Stephens in defense of his actions in “A constitutional view\u003cbr\u003e of the late war between the states; its causes, character, conduct and results”\u003cbr\u003e argues that the Articles of Confederation, written in 1777 does not call the\u003cbr\u003e United States of America “a nation” or “government,” but\u003cbr\u003e instead says, ” States hereby severally enter into a firm league of\u003cbr\u003e friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their\u003cbr\u003e liberties, and their mutual and general welfare.”  Prior to 1912, there was not a Pledge of\u003cbr\u003e Allegiance and your allegiance was thought to be to the State you were born not\u003cbr\u003e the United State.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCivil War Battle Born is a fiction novel based loosely on\u003cbr\u003e historical facts with two fictional characters, one charged with fanning the\u003cbr\u003e flames of war, with allegiance to the North, and the other charged with finding\u003cbr\u003e funding for the South to maintain the war effort.  Nevada then the territory of Nevada was rich\u003cbr\u003e in Silver and Gold was sought after by both the North and the South.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNevada was refused statehood prior to the Civil War, and\u003cbr\u003e then was offered statehood by the North under terms outlined under the\u003cbr\u003e “Enabling Act” which was rushed through congress to ensure an electoral win for\u003cbr\u003e Lincoln in the 1864 election.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is historically accurate that statehood after offered to\u003cbr\u003e sway Nevada to join the union was decisively rejected by the people of Nevada.\u003cbr\u003e What happened?  Somewhat historically\u003cbr\u003e scratchy and subject to conjecture Civil War Battle Born adds its “How\u003cbr\u003e and Why.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CP Kazor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172376002800,"sku":"2940148992059","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148992059_p0.jpg?v=1763711069","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148992059","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
