This volume of pioneering essays brings together an impressive
array of well-established and emerging historians from Europe
and the United States whose common endeavor is to situate
America’s Civil War within the wider framework of global
history. These essays view the American conflict through a
fascinating array of topical prisms that will take readers
beyond the familiar themes of U. S. Civil War history. They
will also take readers beyond the national boundaries that
typically confine our understanding of this momentous conflict.
The history of America’s Civil War has typically been
interpreted within a familiar national narrative focusing on
the internal discord between North and South over the future of
slavery in the United States.
