The American Civil War was by far the bloodiest conflict in American
history. Arising out of a political crisis over the expansion of slavery, the
war set the stage for the emergence of the modern American nation-state.
This new interpretation of one of the most mythologized events in modern
history combines narrative with analysis and an up-to-date assessment of
the state of Civil War scholarship.
The American Civil War
Ш
emphasizes the importance of northern public opinion in shaping the
meaning and outcome of the crisis
■
argues that the war exposed deep social and political divisions within,
as well as between, North and South
■
explores the experiences of ordinary soldiers and civilians, and the political
and cultural context in which they lived
■
sets this distinctively American crisis over slavery and nationhood in the
wider context of the nineteenth-century world.
Concise and authoritative, this is an indispensable introduction to a critical
period in modern American history.
