Book was same old assassination story but with a different twist. Author makes a case that the American Civil War was fought for white supremacy.

While his thoughts have validity now, I'm not sure historically the war reason would be figured as such.

African Americans had no place in antebellum society except as slaves.

Interesting to consider in light of today's political environment.
