This landmark study of the most traumatic era in American history won a Pulitzer Prize in 1918 for its concise, clear-minded survey of the Civil War from political and economic perspectives.From 'the great factor in the destruction of slavery'-the election of Abraham Lincoln as President in 1860-to the 'twenty thousand men in Wall Street' who sang to celebrate the war’s end four years later, Rhodes, a self-taught historian, lends a distinctive voice to his retelling of the war. All students of the upheaval and disorder of the period will appreciate this enduring and unusual perspective on it.
