Lots of noise on the US Message Board regarding the antebellum period in our nation's history. Reading from CD's of the NYT archives, my curiosity peaked when I read about peace efforts and the C-33 on the front page of the NYT March, 1861.
Many on the New Right make claims I knew to be absurd, especially in regard to the precursors of the Civil War and its causes. Claims that slavery was not the primary cause are put to rest in reading from the CD's, thus I decided to post a summary of events from Wikipedia. Those who believe that source is suspect are invited to go to primary sources, the newspapers of the day.
