From the perspective of the North, the Civil War began as a war to
restore the Union and ended as a war to make a more perfect Union.
The Civil War not only changed the moral meaning of the Union, it
changed what the Union stood for in political, economic, and
transnational terms. This volume examines the transformations the
Civil War brought to the American Union as a
politico-constitutional, social, and economic system. It explores
how the war changed the meaning of the Union with regard to the
supremacy of the federal government over the states, the right of
secession, the rights of citizenship, and the political balance
between the union's various sections. It further considers the
effect of the war on international and transnational perceptions of
the United States. Finally, it considers how historical memory has
shaped the legacy of the Civil War in the last 150 years.
