The American companion to A History of the World in 100 Objects, a fresh, visual perspective on the Civil War From a soldier’s diary with the pencil still attached to John Brown’s pike, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the leaves from Abraham Lincoln’s bier, here is a unique and surprisingly intimate look at the Civil War. Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer sheds new light on the war by examining fifty objects from the New-York Historical Society’s acclaimed collection. A daguerreotype of an elderly, dignified ex-slave; a soldier’s footlocker still packed with its contents; Grant’s handwritten terms of surrender at Appomattox—the stories these objects tell are rich, poignant, sometimes painful, and always fascinating. They illuminate the conflict from all perspectives—Union and Confederate, military and civilian, black and white, male and female—and give readers a deeply human sense of the war.

In the mid-19th century the United States of America was threatening to split itself in two over the issue of slavery, eventually leading to the American Civil War, the bloodiest war ever to be fought on American soil. For decades, Black Africans had been transported across the Atlantic Ocean in their thousands and forced to work on the cotton and tobacco plantations of their American masters. The south depended on slave labor for its economy and when an anti-slavery politician from the north, Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, the southern states separated from the north to form their own country. The tensions between north and south came to a climax on April 12, 1861 when an attack on a northern fort began a civil war that was to claim 600,000 lives over the course of four long years. In his book, Kevin Ashmole brings you the important events, battles and people from the American Civil War through a comprehensive list of important facts. Often a history book might be overwhelming, but Ashmole trims it down into 50 easy to comprehend facts for a girl or boy to read. We are sure that that you will be fascinated by the facts about the US Civil War in this book and that you will be motivated to learn more about this turning point in American History. This book is suitable for the age of 8 and above. Chapters: * How the War Began * Bull Run * General McClellan * Confederate Invasion * Gettysburg * The West * The Siege of Vicksburg * The Navy in the War * The Siege of Petersburg * March to the Sea * Surrender & Lincoln's Death * Conclusion

“An extremely good writer, [Ayers] is well worth reading . . . on the South and Southern history.”—Stephen Sears, Boston Globe The Southern past has proven to be fertile ground for great works of history. Peculiarities of tragic proportions—a system of slavery flourishing in a land of freedom, secession and Civil War tearing at a federal Union, deep poverty persisting in a nation of fast-paced development—have fed the imaginations of some of our most accomplished historians. Foremost in their ranks today is Edward L. Ayers, author of the award-winning and ongoing study of the Civil War in the heart of America, the Valley of the Shadow Project. In wide-ranging essays on the Civil War, the New South, and the twentieth-century South, Ayers turns over the rich soil of Southern life to explore the sources of the nation's and his own history. The title essay, original here, distills his vast research and offers a fresh perspective on the nation's central historical event.
