Episode description as stored

In the wake of Abraham Lincoln’s election, Southern leaders made a fateful choice: to break from the Union. Yet instead of plunging the country into war, what followed next was a tense standoff. There were, as we'll learn today, twists and turns on the path from Secession to all out Civil War. Edited by Tomos Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
