The Political Crisis of 1861: A Reply to Mr. Blaine is a historical book written by Christopher Stuart Patterson. The book delves into the political crisis that occurred in the United States in 1861, which ultimately led to the outbreak of the Civil War. The author provides a detailed analysis of the events that led to the crisis, the various political actors involved, and the different perspectives that were held at the time. Patterson's book is a response to James G. Blaine's book, Twenty Years of Congress, which he argues provided a biased and incomplete account of the crisis. The author challenges Blaine's interpretation of events and provides a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the political climate of the time. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the crisis. Patterson discusses the role of slavery, the secession of southern states, the election of Abraham Lincoln, and the attempts at compromise that were made before the outbreak of war. He also examines the actions of key political figures such as Stephen Douglas, John C. Breckinridge, and Jefferson Davis. Overall, The Political Crisis of 1861: A Reply to Mr. Blaine is a well-researched and informative book that provides a deeper understanding of one of the most significant events in American history. The author's analysis is balanced and objective, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the political and social climate of the United States during the Civil War era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
