This landmark study of the most traumatic era in American history
won a Pulitzer Prize in 1918 for its concise, clear-minded survey
of the Civil War from political and economic perspectives. From
"the great factor in the destruction of slavery"-the election of
Abraham Lincoln as President in 1860-to the "twenty thousand men in
Wall Street" who sang to celebrate the war's end four years later,
Rhodes, a self-taught historian, lends a distinctive voice to his
retelling of the war. All students of the upheaval and disorder of
the period will appreciate this enduring and unusual perspective on
it.
