the root of civil war

Based on the book Half Slave and Half Free, I need to answer the following questions. What does Levine mean when he claims that the Civil War was America’s second democratic revolution? How does he defend this claim? Over the decades historical actors and historians alike have attributed numerous causes to the Civil War. What are these causes and how does Levine address them? Lastly, What role does slavery play in Levine’s account of the 70 years between Washington and Lincoln?
