The Secession Movement in Virginia 1847-1861 is a comprehensive historical account of Virginia's secession from the Union during the Civil War. Written by Henry T. Shanks, the book covers the events leading up to Virginia's secession, including the state's political climate, the rise of abolitionism, and the growing tensions between the North and South. Shanks also examines the key players involved in Virginia's secession, including prominent politicians, military leaders, and ordinary citizens. The book offers a detailed analysis of the debates and discussions that took place in Virginia's legislature, as well as the role of the state's newspapers and public opinion in shaping the secession movement. Finally, the book explores the aftermath of Virginia's secession, including the state's role in the Confederacy and the impact of the war on Virginia's economy and society. Overall, The Secession Movement in Virginia 1847-1861 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Civil War and the complex political and social factors that led to Virginia's secession.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
