Focusing on antebellum South Carolina, the book presents a thorough examination of the political and ideological landscape leading to southern separatism and the Civil War. Manisha Sinha challenges traditional narratives that frame secession as a struggle for white liberty, positing instead that it was fundamentally a conservative movement aimed at safeguarding and maintaining racial slavery. This analysis provides a fresh perspective on the motivations behind secession and its implications for understanding the Civil War.
