He examines the lives and thoughts of key figures and provides an especially vivid glimpse into what less famous men and women in both sections thought about themselves and the worlds in which they lived, and how their thoughts informed their actions during this time. Both sides glorified the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, yet they interpreted those sacred documents in markedly different ways and held very different notions of what constituted "American" values. 000351123 650_0 $$aSecession$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000351123 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1849-1861. 000351123 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xCauses. 000351123 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBowman, Shearer Davis.$$tAt the precipice.$$dChapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, c2010$$z9780807833926$$w(DLC) 2010013478$$w(OCoLC)441211491 000351123 8520_ $$bacq 000351123 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000351123 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=605906$$zOnline access 000351123 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351123$$pGLOBAL_SET 000351123 980__ $$aEBOOK 000351123 980__ $$aBIB 000351123 982__ $$aEbook 000351123 983__ $$aOnline
