Difficult to read. Produced by David Widger "The Great Conspiracy, Complete" by John Alexander Logan is a historical account written during the late 19th century that delves into the origins and development of what the author refers to as the Great Conspiracy surrounding the American Civil War and its contributing factors. The book examines the historical context of slavery, sectional tensions, and the political maneuverings that fueled the conflict, aiming for historical accuracy and objectivity in presenting the facts. The opening of the work sets a foundation for understanding the interwoven history of American slavery and its eventual influence on the civil strife that ensued. Logan introduces the evolution of the slavery issue from the early days of the republic, highlighting the complex attitudes toward slavery among the Founding Fathers and the conflicts that arose during the formation of the Constitution. He outlines key events leading up to the Civil War, tracing the origins of sectionalism, the influence of economic factors, and the political discourses that inevitably led the nation to civil war. Logan's nuanced portrayals of both pro- and anti-slavery sentiments, along with his detailed examination of legislative actions like the Missouri Compromise, underscore the depth of the national crisis that culminated in the conflict.
