Themes of the American Civil War offers a timely and useful
guide to this vast topic for a new generation of students. The
volume provides a broad-ranging assessment of the causes,
complexities, and consequences of America s most destructive
conflict to date. The essays, written by top scholars in the field,
and reworked for this new edition, explore how, and in what ways,
differing interpretations of the war have arisen, and explains
clearly why the American Civil War remains a subject of enduring
interest. It includes chapters covering four broad areas, including
The Political Front, The Military Front, The Race Front, and The
Ideological Front.
Additions to the second edition include a new introduction added
to the current introduction by James McPherson a chapter on gender,
as well as information on the remembrance of the war (historical
memory). The addition of several maps, a timeline, and an appendix
listing further reading, battlefield statistics, and
battle/regiment/general names focuses the book squarely at
undergraduates in both the US and abroad.
