Book description
Regardless of whether they owned slaves, Southern whites lived in a world defined by slavery.They seceded from the Union to defend that world when they viewed the election of Abraham Lincoln as a threat to slavery.Rebels in the Making is a narrative-driven history of how and why secession occurred. In this work, eminent Civil War historianWilliam L. Barney narrates the explosion of the sectional conflict into secession and civil war. Carefully examining the events andpolitical circumstances in each of the fifteen slave states, he argues that this was not a mass democratic movement but one ledfrom above. The work focuses on the years of 1860–1861 when sectional conflict led to the break-up of the Union. Exploitingfears of slave insurrections, anxieties over crops ravaged by a long drought, and the perceived moral degradation of submittingto the rule of an antislavery Republican, secessionists launched a movement in South Carolina that spread across the South in afrenzied atmosphere described as the great excitement. Secession swept over the Lower South in January of 1861 but stalled in theUpper South. The driving forces behind it were the middling ranks of the slaveholders who saw their aspirations of planter statusblocked and denigrated by the Republicans. Pushed aside by moderates and former conservatives at the Montgomery Conventionin February 1861 that formed the Confederacy, the original secessionists achieved a final success when the crisis over Fort Sumterprecipitated a second wave of secession in the Upper South.Rebels in the Making shows that secession was not a unified movement, but had its own proponents and patterns in each of theslave states. Drawing together the voices of planters, non-slaveholders, women, the enslaved, journalists, and politicians, it is thedefinitive study of the seminal moment in Southern history that culminated in the Civil War.
