Expand description
In 1860, the United States was in crisis. The North and South were unable to resolve their bitter dispute about slavery and in 1861, eleven Southern states left the Union to form the Confederacy. This led to the Civil War, the bloodiest war in America's history. This volume explains the background to the war and tells of the defeats, victories, and heroes on both sides. In 1865, after the war ended with a Union victory, the reunited nation faced other challenges. Four million black people were freed from slavery, and a new society had to be built. The book covers the successes and failures of Reconstruction, when black people struggled to assert their rights as Americans.
