The Divided Union: The Story of the American Civil War 1861-1865
Total War
E4
The war took its toll not only on the battlefields but also on the day-to-day lives of Northern and Southern civilians. Through songs, diaries, poems, paintings, memoirs, and letters of soldiers and those they left at home, you will enter that war-torn world. You will also witness the changing technology of warfare, the appointment of Ulysses S. Grant as Union commander, and the tragic experiences of African-Americans--some freed, some enslaved.
