Refuting the contention that slavery was neither the reason for secession nor the catalyst for the beginning of the American Civil War, Dew (social sciences, Williams College) argues that slavery was not only a critical component leading to the outbreak of hostilities in 1861, but was, in fact, the leading cause. He finds evidence for his argument in the words and actions of the state-appointed commissioners who traveled through the South in 1860 in an attempt to rally uncommitted slave states to join the efforts to form a new Southern nation.
