Description
The Civil War remains America's central epic. This deadly conflict embroiled the whole nation. There were major and minor battles on land and sea. The losses were staggering: More Americans died in the Civil War than in any other conflict America has participated in. The South was devastated, and the economic and social impacts were felt well into the twentieth century. Industrial expansion in the North, however, was strongly promoted by the conflict. The social effects were far reaching, affecting areas from government and politics to technology, journalism, and domestic life. The Civil War State by State is a comprehensive, highly illustrated review of the involvement of each state at the time of the Civil War. A series of chapters -- each dedicated to an individual state -- explores how each state was affected by the war and the extent of its involvement in the conflict. The comprehensive text is accompanied by a series of historic maps and images from the war, color photographs of present-day battlefields and memorials, and rare photographs. The Civil War State by State is an indispensable guide to how each state experienced this pivotal chapter of the nation's history. Book jacket.
