description: The Civil War was fought for thirty years before the mounting antagonisms exploded in a clash of arms. The period from Nullification in 1932 until Fort Sumter in 1861 constituted a long period of cold war even by today's standards. Men who opposed one another in 1832 had gone to their rewards when the shooting began and the generation in the South which was to die had not been born when South Carolina first defied the Union.
