The American Civil War, Episode 5: Political Developments That Led to the Civil War

from The Blue Collar Scholar · host Will Reitz

This episode summarizes political developments that have already been discussed in previous episodes, explaining how these developments led directly to the founding of the Republican Party. We spend most of the podcast talking about Abraham Lincoln, the second man that the Republican Party nominated for President, and the first Republican to win a Presidential election. But opposition to Lincoln was so strong that South Carolina decided that it was done being a state within the USA.
