""Fort Sumter's Flame: How Secession and Lincoln's Election Lit the Civil War"" delves deep into the turbulent months leading up to the American Civil War, when the nation teetered on the edge of destruction. This meticulously researched book traces the chain of events that began with Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, which sent shockwaves through the Southern states, igniting their cries for secession.
