The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War by Erik Larson is a highly recommended in-depth look at the months between Lincoln’s November 1860 election and the surrender of Fort Sumter which lead up to the Civil War.
The Demon of Unrest PDF delves deep into the events preceding the Civil War, offering a compelling narrative woven from diaries, court records, and senate reports. Through the eyes of figures like Anderson, Lincoln, and Ruffin, among others, we witness their evolution from childhood to adulthood, presenting them as flesh-and-blood individuals.
The author’s meticulous attention to detail allows readers to grasp every facet contributing to the onset of the war. Personally, I found the depiction of South Carolina’s populace during that era both engrossing and unsettling, discovering a wealth of new information along the way.
