Was it really a Civil War? Textbooks, popular history books and documentary films, among others, have established the Civil War myth in the collective consciousness of the American people. Yet the war of 1861-1865 was no more a war to overthrow the U.S. government than the American War of Independence was a fight to topple King George and Parliament. Respected historians George Grant, J. Steven Wilkins, Douglas Wilson, and Tom Spencer are contributing editors to the The War Between the States: America's Uncivil War, and over two dozen of renowned historical artist John Paul Strain's greatest works appear. The textbook offers 700 action-packed pages of war-time drama that will forever change the way Americans view the Civil War. Now the most comprehensive textbook on America's Uncivil War has a long awaited physical companion study guide! Complete with chapter summaries, identification terms, completion exercises, timelines and thought questions calling for written answers to assist in learning the lessons history teaches us in order to allow us to create a better future for those who come after us. Perfect for homeschool, classroom, or individual study., ISBN13:9780982610510 ISBN10:0982610513 Material Type:paperback
