02.06.15 Lunt, George, Origins of the Late War: Traced from the Beginning of the Constitution to the Revolt of the Southern States, published 1866.

Notes Concerning the Author

George Lunt (1803—1885) was a prominent Massachusetts lawyer, legislator, newspaper editor, and author.

Our Review

Amazingly, Lunt, by no means a secessionist, published immediately after the War between the States a detailed political history of the United States to show that the war had been caused by persistent Northern aggression and that the South had been justified in secession.
