- Synopsis
- David M. Potter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book is the definitive history of antebellum America. Potter’s sweeping epic masterfully charts the chaotic forces of 1848 to 1861 that climaxed with the outbreak of the Civil War: westward expansion, the divisive issue of slavery, the Dred Scott decision, John Brown’s uprising, the ascension of Abraham Lincoln, and the drama of Southern secession. Now available in a new edition, The Impending Crisis remains one of the most celebrated works of American historical writing.
