Summary: "Slavery and Four Years of War: A Political History of Slavery in the United States" by Joseph Warren Keifer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the political history of slavery in America, detailing the significant events leading up to and during the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, particularly focusing on the author's personal experiences as a soldier. Keifer addresses the complex relationship between slavery and the broader political landscape of the United States, emphasizing the integral role that slavery played in the secession and conflict of the era. The opening of the work sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of slavery's deep roots in American society, tracing its history from early colonization through to its political implications and eventual abolition. Keifer makes it clear that slavery was not simply a social issue but a significant political catalyst that influenced the actions of states, political parties, and military leaders during the Civil War. He discusses the various forms of slavery that existed, including indentured servitude and the transatlantic slave trade, and outlines the events that spurred the Civil War, such as the Dred Scott decision and the formation of the Confederate States. This early section establishes the framework for a detailed narrative that combines personal memoir with significant historical analysis. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
