"The American Civil War is a defining moment in the history of the United States. At least 600,000 Americans lost their lives in a conflict that merged elements of the Napoleonic era with the technologies of the Machine Age. In this reference guide, Hugh Tulloch examines the military aspects of the war alongside the political, constitutional, social and economic developments and trends that informed and were in turn informed by the turbulent events that took place during America's nineteenth century. Including a full glossary, biographies of central figures, key documents, guides to further reading and illustrated with informative maps, this companion provides a comprehensive guide for all those who study American history."--BOOK JACKET.
