Title: Same old tiresome harangue
Review: Edit this OUT of your reading list! The War of Northern Aggression was never over slavery. Had the issue actually been slavery, slave labor would not have continually been used to construct federal buildings in Washington, DC, well into the War! Slavery would have been immediately abolished in every state (it was not). Lincoln would ot have offered to "let" the Southerners keep their slaves in exchange for not seceding (which he did!) This book seems to have been written to be sensationalist, rather than to reflect historical significance. This kind of gratuitous writing is revolting. For a much better read, try Heroines of the South, which is an actual compilation of letters and diary entries by Southern ladies during the War.
