The author seeks to challenge the long-held perceptions of the politics of the American Civil War. He argues that the war was fought not to preserve the Union or free the slaves but rather to establish the political power of the Republican Party within the federal government. The author argues further that Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party manipulated events to bring about the Civil War in the first place and used the war as a pretext for the establishment of the modern central government.

The late Robert P. Broadwater wrote more than 35 books of military history and more than 100 magazine articles dealing with the American Civil War and the Revolutionary War. He lived in Pennsylvania.
