Summary
The attempt in these pages is to demonstrate that the political dispute which arose in the Democratic party in 1844 over the annexation of Texas was of profound historical importance, since it was a party schism contributing greatly to the tragic era of sectional enmity which finally resulted in the Civil War. This work attempts to analyze and interpret the domestic political ramifications of Texas, especially with reference to the Democratic party. (adapted from introduction)
