Description
The Civil War still holds a prominent place in the American imagination—reenactments and battlefield visits are popular tourist attractions for both Northerners and Southerners. The underlying issues of racism and states’ rights that caused the war are also still visible in American society. Through informative main text, detailed maps, historic photographs, and a timeline of important dates, readers will be engaged by this key event in the country’s history and gain a better understanding of some of its present struggles.
