Sobre este artículo
From the front DJ flap: "In this spellbinding new history of the Civil War, David Goldfield crafts the first major reinterpretation of the conflict - its causes and costs - since James M. McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom. Where past scholars have limned the war as a triumph of freedom, Goldfield sees it as America's greatest failure: a breakdown caused by the infusion of evangelical religion into the public sphere. As the Second Great Awakening surged through the nation, political questions became matters of good and evil - differences serious enough to kill and die for."
"The price of the war was horrific, but...it made the United States one nation and eliminated the divisive presence of slavery."
The narrative is from the 1830's to the end of Reconstruction.
