087 The Civil War: Origins Pt. II

In this episode we continue the story of the origins of the
Civil War. We begin with the decade of the 1850s and
concentrate on the issues that created the conditions for war.
Rather than stop the expansion of slavery, it continued. While
Southern states were pleased, opinion makers in the North were
not. As the decade progressed, attitudes hardened, making
compromise impossible to achieve. In our next episode we will
concentrate on the secession of the southern states and the
opening months of the Lincoln administration.
