This two-volume encyclopedia offers a unique insight into the Civil
War from a state and local perspective, showing how the American
experience of the conflict varied significantly based on location.
Intended for general-interest readers and high school and college
students, American Civil War: A State-by-State Encyclopedia serves
as a unique ready reference that documents the important
contributions of each individual state to the American Civil War
and underscores the similarities and differences between the
states, both in the North and the South. Each state chapter leads
off with an overview essay about that state's involvement in the
war and then presents entries on prominent population centers,
manufacturing facilities, and military posts within each state;
important battles or other notable events that occurred within that
state during the war; and key individuals from each state, both
civilian and military. The A-Z entries within each state chapter
enable readers to understand how the specific contributions and
political climate of states resulted in the very different
situations each state found itself in throughout the war. The set
also provides a detailed chronology that will help students place
important events in proper order. Presents coverage of all U.S.
states and territories from 1861 to 1865 and addresses important
cities, towns, military posts, and manufacturing centers Enables
readers to understand the tremendous influence of the Civil War on
civilians as well as on military personnel directly involved with
the conflict Explains the critical roles played by manufacturing
and agriculture in the events and outcome of the Civil War
