Description: The question of what caused the Civil War often is treated as a long term proposition requiring extended chronological coverage, sometimes going as far back as the initial settlement of the North American colonies. While there is much merit in studying the origin and growth of those sectional differences that played a part in the conflict, it is also illuminating to look carefully at the actual "trigger" of the war--the secession of the Southern states. For, regardless of the nature and degree of the institutional differences between the sections, and aside from the question of whether or not open conflict was inevitable, it required the overt act of secession for the great events to be set in motion. In this lecture Professor Craven examines in some detail the grievances and fears that drove the South to such a desperate step. In the process Craven sheds considerable light on the state of mind of a people willing to take the calculated risk of war with their countrymen for a cause they considered just. Quoting from a wide variety of sources, Craven portrays the South after the election of Lincoln as caught up in a dilemma from which there was no avenue of escape. His account of the secession crisis has the ring of truth and gives to the historical fact the dimensions of human tragedy.

Title: The Winds of Historical Doctrine, The Winds of Historical Doctrine
Identifier: dv_00249
Creator: Hofstadter, Richard (Lecturer)
Contributor: Frantz, Joe B. (project director), Mischer, Donald L. (television director), Hendricks, Lyle (art, set, and titles), Radio/Television, The University of Texas (producer)
Dates: circa 1962-1963
Resource: KLRU-TEMP videotape collection
Description: To afford an insight into how historians work, Professor Hofstadter explains certain significant circumstances behind his two influential volumes, "The American Political Tradition" and "The Age of Reform." He relates how his publisher led him to make "The American Political Tradition" more pretentious than he planned, by suggesting an interpretive introduction that connected a set of disparate essays. This introduction suggested that "consensus," a common climate of opinion that supported property, individualism, and enterprise was more important than conflict between different groups. He says that this emphasis came because the previous generation of Beard and Parrington (for example) had overstressed conflict between different groups through American history. Ideally he would stress both in any analysis. He also disclaims that the "consensus" view has conservative implications, as some have charged, for descriptions of a consensus do not imply approval, but only an attempt to understand the reasons for it and the motives of reformist critics who attack it. To illustrate how the concerns of his times influenced his analysis, he contrasts the era in which "The American Political Tradition" (published in 1948) was written, with the climate surrounding "The Age of Reform" (published in 1955). The first was written in the afterglow of the New Deal consensus on reform, the second in the depressing atmosphere of McCarthyism and popular conservatism after World War II. "The Age of Reform," while assuming the basic merit of the liberal reform tradition, is less impressed with the wisdom of the "people" who behaved so disappointingly after World War II. Professor Hofstadter also cautions his readers to weigh his comic sense and his attraction to new and unorthodox contibutory explanations before assassinating his concepts.
