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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing from Southern newspapers, government archives, memoirs, letters, and firsthand accounts, Franklin masterfully details the sources and consequences of antebellum aggression in the South. First published in 1956, this classic volume is an enduring and impeccably researched contribution to Southern history. This paperback edition features a new preface in which the author discusses controversial responses to the book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hope Franklin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252070690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252070693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 0.72d","brand":"John Hope Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086448505087,"sku":"9780252070693","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92490189-3ae1-46c9-b38c-faf775b7d2c6.jpg?v=1769094731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-militant-south-1800-1861-john-hope-franklin-9780252070693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
