Looking to expand my library, and also, planning to major in history shortly; what are the best resources out there for my favorite war, the American Civil War?
Objective and well-sourced, I have thrown away far too many "lost cause" or Union propaganda stories.
The American Civil War was fomented by a group of traitors who wanted to preserve and expand the institution of chattel slavery. This is not controversial among scholars of the war. Our FAQ has plenty of resources on this. Our books list has good reading on the institution of slavery and the war itself
