In this exploration into American history, we move from a review of the origins of the office of Vice-President of the United States and its evolution and development, to a focus on a specific time period of particular impact…that of the Civil War.
After the Revolution and the Constitution, the Civil War is the key episode in American History. In Part II, we will review the Vice Presidents of the United States from 1850 to 1865, two of whom became Presidents and changed history, and two of whom would have changed history had they become Presidents.
What to Expect: We will review and reappraise the Vice Presidents of the mid-19th Century leading to and through the Civil War.
