Zusammenfassung:"Both the Civil War and World War I commemorations have been shaped by the early twenty-first-century context from which we view the consequences of these cataclysmic events. The third decade of the twenty-first century is an appropriate time to take stock of what historians have learned from these two conflicts. Additionally, it is an opportunity to reperiodize the conflicts as part of the same era-part of the long 19th century-rather than viewing them as products of separate times. The contributors to Wars Civil and Great compare the American experience in the Civil War and Great War by having scholars answer questions, focusing and drawing on their own particular area of understanding. Each author addresses four overarching questions: What legacy did the Civil War leave? Did the World War I generation interpret the lessons of the Civil War and, if so, how? Third, how did the Great War change the lessons from the Civil War Era? And, finally, how did both wars contribute to the modernization of the United States?"--
