Beschreibung
The American Civil War is the most written-about war human beings have yet fought. And yet, its controversies are still being argued over: Was it about slavery or States' rights? Did the South ever have a chance to win? And above all, how did it become such a desperate struggle, claiming the lives of more Americans than any other conflict?
The story of the Civil War has become still more relevant in recent times, as the nation still grapples with the cultural divide between city and rural, North and South, and the unfinished struggle for the rights of minorities. "A People's Contest" takes a different approach than the classical histories, using a day-by-day account which illuminates how decisions were made and how the momentous events unfolded. And the people who were part of it, politicians, generals, soldiers, and private citizens, give their voices to the story.
