The American Civil War and Reconstruction
The American Civil War hit close to home as it pitted brother against brother, permanently severing familial bonds over differing beliefs. Years of war were followed by a period of Reconstruction, wherein the nation tried to piece itself back together in an uneasy political climate--a trying time in American history. This book focuses on the underlying causes, important battles, remembered personages, and lasting outcomes of the Civil War through detailed information and intriguing, expressive photographs.

Series Review: America at War"This series tells the full story of the major military conflicts of the United States like few other sets have done, while being written in a way that almost anyone could understand. Numerous illustrations and pictures aid in explaining what happened. The brief biographical sketches of nearly every major person of world importance at the time are objective and filled with detail. Many news items, speeches, and military engagements are explained in blocked text, giving the reader a better understanding of terms and events...This set provides good value for the money."
