Publisher's Note
In conjunction with its sequel, this volume will seek to demonstrate that the conflict largely resulted from differences between capitalist and slave modes of production.This is a first of a two-volume study of slavery and capitalism as they relate to the second party system and the origins of the Civil War.

This is the first of a two-volume treatment of slavery, capitalism and politics in the forty years before the Civil War. It is both a novel reinterpretation, from a Marxist perspective, of American political and economic development and a synthesis of existing scholarship on the economics of slavery, the origins of abolitionism, the proslavery argument and the second party system. With its sequel, this book will locate the political struggles of the antebellum period in the international context of the dismantling of unfree labor systems. It will also show that the Civil War should be seen as America's bourgeois revolution.

Industry Reviews
"To undertake a new study of the causes of the American Civil War is audacious, but John Ashworth has brought off a truly impressive achievement. Whether discussing the ideology of abolitionism, the impact of capitalism of social life, or the social origins of the slavery controversy, Ashworth offers original insights in a field already plowed by many historians."
