DeToqueville's remarkable "Democracy in America" described the dynamics that were already unfolding at the time he wrote, well before the start of the War That Shall Not Be Named.  It developed deep insights to the cultural, economic and racial elements of the differences between the regions and how they contributed to the eventual start of the conflict.  I am constantly amazed at the power of his observations.  Triggers a desire to read it again.
