More Americans died during the Civil War than in any other war in the history of the United States. In this day-by-day chronicle of the war, relive the courage and conflicts of our divided nation as North and South struggle both to destroy and to survive. From the diaries, letters, and books of soldiers and civilians, from newspaper reports and historical archives, the events of the war are told exactly as they happened. With background information on the population of America, its society and economics, the issue of states' rights, and even medical practices of the day, Robert E. Denney sets the scene that was the country at that time, and annotates the days and months of the war.[Book jacket].

In the decades of the early republic, Americans debating the fate of slavery often invoked the specter of disunion to frighten their opponents. As Elizabeth Varon shows, "disunion" connoted the dissolution of the republic--the failure of the founders' effort to establish a stable and lasting representative government. For many Americans in both the North and the South, disunion was a nightmare, a cataclysm that would plunge the nation into the kind of fear and misery that seemed to pervade the rest of the world. For many others, however, disunion was seen as the main instrument by which they could achieve their partisan and sectional goals. Varon blends political history with intellectual, cultural, and gender history to examine the ongoing debates over disunion that long preceded the secession crisis of 1860-61.

"A great resource for students of the Civil War. The first half of this volume takes a day-by-day look at the events of the Civil War, looking at what was going on both politically and militarily across the Country on almost every day of the years 1861 - 1865. Following this is an encyclopediac reference to all manner of Civil War-related topics. Most of the entries are brief, but it is a worthy starting-point at least."--Publisher's description.
