In fact, five generations have passed, and Americans are still trying to measure the influence of the immense fratricidal conflict that nearly tore the nation apart. In The War that Forged a Nation, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James M. McPherson considers why the Civil War remains so deeply embedded in our national psyche and identity. 606 $aWar and society$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocial change$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xInfluence 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xPsychological aspects 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWar and society$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a973.7/1 686 $aHIS036050$aHIS036000$aHIS036040$2bisacsh 700 $aMcPherson$b James M.$0136582 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828355403321 996 $aThe war that forged a nation$93962315 997 $aUNINA
