Politicians' Roles in Beginning and Ending War
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the validity of the statement, "Politicians start wars, armies do not. Government end wars, generals do not." A variety of poorly-planned laws and policies beginning in 1850 with the Missouri Compromise led to steadily increasing tensions regarding slavery, culminating in bloodshed over the Kansas-Nebraska Act during Franklin Pierce's administration. As there were no military coups of either the Union or Confederate government, neither were the leading generals of each side responsible for ending the war. They both acted as emissaries of their respective governments, one the victor and one the bloody loser. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
