Abstract
Mary Ellison. Support for Secession: Lancashire and the American Civil War. Epilogue by Peter d'A. Jones. Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press, 1972. $10.50. Much of the historical scholarship of the past fifty years has been devoted to neutralizing the influence of the once supreme Liberal interpretation of English history. This interpretation, which even today haunts the pages of many a textbook, depicts events from Magna Carta to the Lloyd George Budget of 1909 as scenes in a never-ending morality play. In every political controversy of significance there is found an underlying struggle between the forces of good and those of evil, between the forces of progress and those of reaction, in short, between the "People" on the one hand and the "Privileged" on the other.
