About the Book
Americans held their Last Election in 1860 after seventy-one years as one nation state. Secession and separation of two incompatible Ways of Life followed. A great civil war erupted. We are headed again to a Last Election, secession, and separation of two incompatible Ways of Life. The author examines in plain common sense terms the principal factors at work and the hopeless division among our people, comparing current times to the decade of the 1850s, and the fraying of our common thread. Mr. Reynolds concludes with an appeal for Americans to consider a pathway along which different cultures and Ways of Life may walk compatibly on this great continent.
