Summary

John Logan’s The Great Conspiracy is a powerful and meticulously researched account of the political turmoil that led to the American Civil War. First published in 1886, this compelling work examines the growing tensions between North and South, exposing the calculated efforts to preserve and expand slavery at any cost. With the insight of a Union general and statesman, Logan unravels the web of political maneuvering, failed compromises, and radical actions that pushed the nation toward its most devastating conflict.     Through a detailed exploration of key events such as the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the rise of abolitionist movements, the Dred Scott decision, and the election of Abraham Lincoln, Logan presents a clear and forceful argument that the war was not an accident of history but the result of deliberate conspiracy. He reveals how pro-slavery factions sought to control the government, silence opposition, and dismantle the Union, making war an inevitable consequence of their relentless pursuit of power.     More than just a historical analysis, The Great Conspiracy serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of political extremism and the fragility of democracy. This Classicus edition brings Logan’s insightful and impassioned work to a new generation of readers, offering an essential perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in American history. A must-read for scholars, students, and history enthusiasts alike, this book remains as relevant today as when it was first written.

    We like to believe that bigotry is a product of ignorance and that if we educate people enough, they will become immune to bigotry. But what if bigotry isn't a lack of education, but rather a moral code that people live by? What if bigotry is a common code of hate to which no community is immune? 
      
    On Bigotry is a field guide for understanding how bigots think and teach others to think, how bigotry disguises itself, how bigotry teaches people to act politically, and, most importantly, what individuals and communities can do about it.
