Hi! This is my first time asking a question here. I am a huge fan of history, especially the civil war. I have seen you have a great wealth of information about the civil war and slavery, and I guess this is a rather specific question. I am writing a research paper on the causes of the war and much to my dismay my professor said she would prefer if the majority of my sources were from the last 10 to 12 years. The great majority of the books I have were left to me by my grandfather, The Negro's Civil War by James Mcpherson, The Angry Scar by Hodding Carter, Battle Cry of Freedom of course and a few others I can't remember right now. I do have access to an academic search through my college but its a bit of a chore to navigate and i would much rather hear from you! So please what are some good, reputable sources on the civil war from the last decade or so?

This is pretty lazy... JStor is an amazing resource if that's what you have access to. Google Scholar is another good resource. Both of these sites allow you to sort by date. For Google Scholar you can also apply a date range filter, so that you only see results from the past 10-12 years.
There are several recommended texts on the AskHistorians Book List.
