The book explores the American Civil War's influence on central state authority in the late nineteenth century, highlighting the intense competition between the North and South that led to secession and the establishment of distinct political economies. It details how the Civil War expanded the American state as a driver of northern economic growth, yet post-war tensions within the Republican coalition resulted in the end of Reconstruction and a political resurgence of former Confederates in the South. This analysis sheds light on the Civil War's lasting legacy into the twentieth century.
