The War Between the States: America's Uncivil War (Book/ Hardcover)

Product Overview

Few events in America’s history have been as influential - or as complicated - as the bloody War between our southern and northern states. No other event has so vividly underscored our strengths and weaknesses as a people and as a nation, and no other event has so changed our citizenry and our government.

In order to more clearly explain this conflict, John J. Dwyer has compiled source documents on the development of social and religious ideas that preceded secession and war. The battles are described in detail and strategic context, depicting how they affected soldiers and civilians alike. At the War’s conclusion, there were further changes to our society, attitudes, and even Constitutional legislation, all of which are carefully explained in this groundbreaking work.

Featuring research and articles from George Grant, J. Steven Wilkins, Douglas Wilson, and Tom Spencer, the book is also illustrated by the paintings of John Paul Strain, and includes nearly 500 photographs, maps and charts, as well as dozens of biographies of politicians, theologians, writers, soldiers, inventors, spies, nurses, and journalists. Learn the amazing stories behind this War, and what they mean.
