History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America

The History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America is an early history of the American Civil War by Vice President Henry Wilson, who had been a Senator from Massachusetts during the war.

The book was published in three volumes by J.R. Osgood and Company of Boston, Massachusetts.

The first two volumes appeared in 1872, the year Wilson ran for vice president on the winning Republican ticket headed by Ulysses S. Grant.

Wilson's history went through several more Osgood editions, and was also published by Houghton Mifflin in the 1870s and afterward.
