Description

The Civil War is shrouded in legend and mythology–but this new entry in The Real History series provides a clear, fresh view of the events for curious readers who want an intellectual, but no longer dryly academic, presentation of this inexhaustibly fascinating subject. Covering the whole thing from the roots of the conflict to Reconstruction, Axelrod addresses a range of less-discussed subjects such as the efforts made to avert war (including Lincoln’s initial hesitant response), the fragmentation of popular opinion in both the North and the South’ and the institutional problems that afflicted the Union and Confederate Armies. Axelrod also explores the so-known as “turning points” of the war and whether slavery in reality used to be the most important result in of the conflict. Diary excerpts, letters, informative sidebars, and recent photography, art, and maps round out this soaking up, thought-provoking have a look at.
