The Civil War And the American System tells the truth-for the first time-about the "Civil War," which was in fact the battle between the American System of economics and the British system of free trade. Today the heirs of Adam Smith and the British Empire are pressing for worldwide "free trade," a system which led to slavery in the 19th century, and is doing so again today. Utilizing a rich selection of primary-source documents, Salisbury reintroduces the forgotten men of the Civil War-era battle for the American System: Mathew Carey, Henry Carey, William Kelley, William Elder, and Stephen Colwell. Together with Abraham Lincoln, they demanded industrial-technological progress, against the ideological subversion of British "free trade" economists and the British-dominated Confederacy.
