The sectional conflict over slavery in the United States was not only a clash between labour systems and political ideologies but also a viscerally felt part of the lives of antebellum Americans. This book explores how emotions shaped Americans' perceptions of, and responses to, the sectional conflict in order to explain why it culminated in disunion and war.
