I am not specifically a civil war historian, but i moonlight in the field. Thatnk it is appropriate we open our discussion of the political crisis of the 1850s as the prelude to what follows in this next five days. History is fundamentally about people and events in a temporal setting. You do not have the civil war without the increasingly fractious and antagonistic sectional process during posturing.

It is my pleasure to welcome edward ayres for the rubber bloom lecture. Professor ayres is the tucker boat pfizer of the humanities professor of the humanities and erutissor emmer richmond.
