Summary "Hombres y glorias de América" by Enrique Piñeyro is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text delves into critical events in American history, particularly focusing on the conflict between slavery and freedom in the United States from 1850 to 1861. The book explores significant political struggles and the implications of key figures in the tumultuous landscape leading up to the Civil War. The opening of the work sets the stage by outlining the historical backdrop of the United States during the pre-Civil War era. It highlights the fundamental tensions between the North and South over issues such as the expansion of territory and the legality of slavery, leading to intense political debates and compromises. Piñeyro introduces pivotal figures such as John C. Calhoun, Daniel Webster, and Henry Clay, whose actions and beliefs significantly influenced the political discourse of the time. The narrative reveals the mounting pressure and ideological divides that ultimately contributed to the Civil War, capturing the deep social and political currents that defined this critical moment in American history.
