THE CIVIL WAR THREATENED TO TEAR THE UNITED STATES APART. Neither Northerners nor Southerners wanted a war or were prepared to fight one in 1861, yet the failure of the framers of the Constitution to resolve the issue of slavery made the dissolution of the Union virtually inevitable, and when the federal government chose to resist that dissolution, it made war inevitable as well. In The Real History Of The Civil War, Alan Axelrod uses a fluid, conversational style to authoritatively immerse the reader in ever fought. He explores the important and lesser-known aspects of the war, spanning its origins through the Reconstruction. It's a riveting, lavishly illustrated account you won't soon forget.
