Excerpt from Lincoln and the First Shot
In 1846, having ordered an army into disputed ter ritory along the Rio Grande, James K. Polk asked Con gress for a declaration of war after the troops had been fired upon. War exists, he said, and by the act of Mexico herself. American blood has been shed upon American soil. Polk was the first president to be accused of de liberately bringing about an attack, or the semblance of an attack, in order to rouse the American people and lead them to war.

This book delves into the critical weeks leading up to the American Civil War, focusing on President Abraham Lincoln's policy toward the Confederate seizure of federal forts in the South.

However, this resolve was challenged by conflicting advice from his cabinet, military leaders, and political factions. While some advocated for immediate action, others, fearing further escalation, urged appeasement and compromise.

It delves into the anxieties and motivations of key figures like William Seward and Montgomery Blair, whose contrasting views on slavery and the use of force heavily influenced Lincoln's decisions.
