William Taylor
'Cause and Probable Results of the Civil War in America: Facts for the People of Great Britain,' penned by William Taylor in 1862, offers a contemporary analysis of the burgeoning conflict in the United States. Addressing a British audience, Taylor delves into the complex factors leading to the war, including the Fugitive Slave Law, the Missouri Compromise, and the rise of abolitionist sentiment. He examines the roles of key political entities like the United States Congress and the Democratic Party, as well as social forces such as the Methodist Episcopal Church. Taylor’s work provides valuable insight into the perceptions and concerns surrounding the American Civil War, particularly as viewed from across the Atlantic.
