Considers the key questions America faced on the eve of the Civil War: What factors fuelled booming national expansion and economic growth, and what roles did they play in the national conversation? Would the slave-based economy continue to thrive? What would be the long-term effects of John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry? And what was the outlook for the election of 1860?
Edward L. Ayers is President of the University of Richmond and the author of the Bancroft Prize-winning In the Presence of Mine Enemies: War in the Heart of America, 1859-1863. Carolyn R. Martin is Executive Assistant to the President at the University of Richmond and served as chair of the planning committee for hosting the "America on the Eve of the Civil War" Signature Conference.
