Civil War America takes a new look at America's great tragedy that cost some 750,000 lives. Southern states sought to keep the right to legalize slavery; slaveowners to keep that protection for their practices. From a Christian perspective, God ended white Americans' slaveholding that tainted their hold on the Gospel. Continuing from book one in this series, Civil War America narrates how North and South found new approaches that the Founders had not authorized: the South, secession from the Union; the North, armed coercion to compel the South to remain. To win the war, the North replaced the old state-centered Union with a new, Federal-centered one. But winning was not inevitable. Civil War America tells the story of twists and turns on the battlefield and the home front that helped to shape this nation for the following 150 years.
