Ordeal of the Union: Vol. 2 A House Divided 1852-1857 (1947) By Allan Nevins
The second volume in Allan Nevins’ series on the Civil War covers the timeframe of 1852-1857. It discusses how a relatively weak President Pierce essentially did the bidding of the slave states. This weakness, as well as the proposal to allow Kansas to self-determine whether it would be free or slave, shattered the short-lived peace from the Compromise of 1850. In the mid-1850s, the division between North and South rapidly widened.
