Background

Causes Web Site
http://members.aol.com/jfepperson/causes.html/
"The American Civil War is one of the most momentous and controversial periods in American history. This site was founded with the intent of collecting copies of or links to as many primary documents from the period of the secession crisis as is reasonably possible, with the goal of shedding light on the causes of secession, hence of the war. There is one document from outside this time frame (Lincoln's Second Inaugural) and while I will consider others, I want to focus the site on primary documents from the time of the secession crisis."
