Description
Was it a moral issue or a state issue? The opening of this book addresses this very topic concerning the Civil War. Readers also learn that while a revolution or a rebellion is an uprising against a ruling agency, a civil war is an uprising between the same people/country. Being one of the first heavily documented wars, there is a great deal of firsthand and primary source accounts on battles, life as a soldier and civilians, along with photographs. Students are asked to form their own conclusions when approaching critical thinking questions. 104 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Civil War (Turning Points)
The Civil War still holds a prominent place in the American imagination. Reenactments and battlefield visits are popular tourist attractions for both Northerners and Southerners. The underlying issues of racism and states' rights that caused the war are also still visible in American society. Sidebars, timelines, and historic images augment the informative narrative. Detailed maps illustrate how the Civil War was fought. Annotated quotes and discussion questions help readers develop a deeper understanding of the reality of the American Civil War and draw comparisons between this historical period and modern times.
