Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Effect of the War of 1812: Upon the Consolidation of the Union
The two great motive forces in American politics during the first century of the national existence were the questions of state sovereignty and of slavery. The pressure of the first was almost wholly, yet but temporarily, relieved by the second war with Great Britain, and it was reserved for the great civil war of 1861 - 5 to put an effectual quietus upon both.
