086 The Civil War: Origins, Part I

This is the first episode that speaks to the origins of the Civil
War. Given the complexity and length of these events, this and
subsequent episodes covering origins of the war will provide a
broad overview of the run up to the war. In this episode we speak
to the increasingly difficult path to compromise over the spread
and regulation of slavery into the new western territories. While
compromise was attained, by the decade of the 1850s, attitudes
had hardened. Take a listen!
