Sommario/riassunto

Focuses upon the place of the Civil War across the sweep of American cultural forms and practices, and reveals links between historical events and contemporary culture. This work introduces a discussion of ante-bellum culture and the part cultural forces played in the sectional crisis that exploded into full-blown war in 1861.
