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.
