Military subordination in civil-military relations would be uncontested in contemporary scholarly discussions, if his statement would have a perpetual validity. Civilian control of…

The hostility between the industrious North and agricultural South reached its peak in 1861 when the Civil War began at Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina (Adams 333). During the progression of the war, the amount of money acquired from the selling of bonds and tariffs was not enough to keep the national debt from increasing (Brownlee 61).
