Shadows of the Civil War

Shadows of the Civil War

The shadows of the Civil War hang over our country to this day. The war kept the nation together and it ended slavery, but it left a legacy that includes persisting racism, strong emotionalism in our politics, deep sectional divisions, and a misguided belief that we can determine the destinies of other nations. America can step out of the shadow of our Civil War if we decide to do so. This book tells us how.
