Overview

War is one of the most complex of all subjects for readers to understand, and the American Civil War in particular remains the subject of controversy nearly 150 years after the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House. This series answers some of the most important questions from this time in U.S. history: What were the real causes of the war? Was the South really defeated? Could foreign support have saved the Confederacy? Readers are given a broad introduction to the conflict, from the action on the battlefields to the economic and political background and the wars impact on civilian life. Each book considers a particular aspect of the war, providing reliable, accurate information that reflects the most current research. A framework of insightful boxed insets helps readers interpret the information on each page, sometimes explaining difficult words or concepts, sometimes asking open questions that prompt the reader to think about an individuals motives or the consequences of a particular decision. Each chapter concludes with a Right Answer inset, which asks a question based on the chapter and explores the possible answers in a series of brief pro and con points. Combining both solid historical facts and opportunities for critical thinking and logical argument, this series is a must for any collection.
