Description

Highlights the central role that race played in the Civil War by examining some of the ugliest incidents that were played out on the battlefields. Challenging the American public's perception of the Civil War as a chivalrous family quarrel, these essays show the conflict to be a social revolution with bloody excesses exacerbated by racial hatred.
