ISBN: 9781469622026 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. After the Civil War, white Confederate and Union army veterans reentered--or struggled to reenter--the lives and communities they had left behind. In Sing Not War, James Marten explores how the nineteenth century's "Greatest Generation" attempted to blend back into society and how their experiences were treated by nonveterans.

Although Civil War veterans were generally well taken care of during the Gilded Age,...

Children--white and black, northern and southern--endured a vast and varied range of experiences during the Civil War.

The Civil War is a much plumbed area of scholarship, so much so that at times it seems there is no further work to be done in the field.

Texas Divided: Loyalty and Dissent in the Lone Star State, 1856-1874
ISBN: 9780813193359 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Civil War hardly scratched the Confederate state of Texas. Thousands of Texans died on battlefields hundreds of miles to the east, of course, but the war did not destroy Texas's farms or plantations or her few miles of railroads. Although unchallenged from without, Confederate Texans faced challenges from within -- from fellow Texans who opposed their cause. Dissension sprang from a multitude of seeds. It emerged from prewar political and ethnic differences; it surfaced after wartime hardships and potential danger wore down the resistance of less-than-enthusiastic rebels; it...

James Tanner may be the most famous person in nineteenth-century America that no one has heard of. During his service in the Union army, he lost the lower third of both his legs and afterward had to reinvent himself.
