As war raged on the battlefields of the Civil War, men and women
all over the nation continued their daily routines. They celebrated
holidays, ran households, wrote letters, read newspapers, joined
unions, attended plays, and graduated from high school and college.
Civil War America reveals how Americans, both Northern and
Southern, lived during the Civil War-the ways they worked,
expressed themselves artistically, organized their family lives,
treated illness, and worshipped. Written by specialists, the
chapters in this book cover the war's impact on the economy, the
role of the federal government, labor, welfare and reform efforts,
the Indian nations, universities, healthcare and medicine, news
coverage, photography, and a host of other topics that flesh out
the lives of ordinary Americans who just happened to be living
through the biggest conflict in American history. Along with the
original material presented in the book chapters, the website
accompanying the book is a treasure trove of primary sources, both
textual and visual, keyed for each chapter topic. Civil War America
and its companion website uncover seismic shifts in the cultural
and social landscape of the United States, providing the perfect
addition to any course on the Civil War.
