About This Item
Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1956. 317 pages. Near fine in publisher's cloth and a good dustwrapper with expert tissue mends.
First edition of this "impeccably researched contribution to Southern history" inscribed by this influential dean of Black American history: "To Elliot Morris, with the hope that one day he will be successful in every way, from John Hope Franklin 28 March 1986."
Dr. Franklin's classic study identified the "factors and causes of the South's festering propensity for aggression that contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861. Franklin asserts that the South was dominated by militant white men who resorted to violence in the face of social, personal, or political conflict. Fueled by their defense of slavery and a persistent desire to keep the North out of their affairs, Southerners adopted a vicious bellicosity that intensified as war drew nearer." (2002, Illinois University Press edition)
The first edition is increasingly scarce, let alone signed.
