Opposing Viewpoints in World History - The American Civil War
Wim Coleman, Pat Perrin
Hardcover (Greenhaven Press, Oct. 29, 2004)As the American historian Bruce Catton once wrote, the Civil war "was not an ending but a beginning"--not a quaint, romantic memory, but an enduring, living presence. The debates in this book deal with many issues of importance today, including states rights, civil rights, and the nature of American government. One cannot understand the history of the U.S. without understanding the history and controversies of the Civil War.
