Description
This book examines the most closely followed period in the history of the United States, a subject that inspires dozens of new publications in the USA every year. These works concern not only the military events but also the broader context of the conflict between the two parts of the Union. The South and the North developed so differently up to 1860 that, less than a century after the country’s foundation, the Confederacy seceded and armed conflict followed. Only the defeat of the secessionists made the reunification of the federation possible and shaped the country for decades, attracting worldwide attention because of the social, political and economic opportunities it offered its inhabitants and immigrants. The author of this history of the Civil War takes the same approach, devoting more attention to the historical and political context of the conflict and to its leading figures than to the course of the battles themselves. This new, expanded edition includes contemporary illustrations.
