Title: Lies fabrication and tomfoolery
Review: The base argument ehre is that a peaceful settlement to the civil war was possible. Which peaceful settlement would that hve been? The peaceful settlement when the COnfederates fired on Ft. Sumner or was it the peaceful settlement that would have allowed Slavery to exist? Was it the peaceful settlement that would allow states to suceed from the union any time they wanted? This books argument is wrong and the idea is nonsense. Any true student of the Civil war knows that the war, once Lincoln was elected, was inevitable. Regardless if you support the South or think the war was a catastrophe(it was) it doesn't mean you can just re-write history and decide it didn't need to happen. This book is almost as realistic as claiming that America didn't need to enter WWII.Seth J. Frantzman
