Paying Freedom's Price: A History of African Americans in the Civil War
ISBN: 9781442255746 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780807859018 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although North Carolina was a "home front" state rather than a battlefield state for most of the Civil War, it was heavily involved in the Confederate war effort and experienced many conflicts as a result.

Blacks fought for freedom, women sought greater independence, and their aspirations for change stimulated fierce resistance from more privileged groups. Republicans and Democrats fought over power during Reconstruction and for decades thereafter disagreed over the...

But Jefferson Davis and the new government were greatly hampered in their bid for widespread public support, partially because of the same force that had resulted in secession -- the strong states' rights predisposition of many...
