Divided Houses

"Social historians have heretofore ignored the Civil War and Reconstruction periods. This highly original and pathbreaking collection of essays by academic historians redresses the balance....The essays are especially valuable because they treat the experiences of ordinary people--black andwhite, male and female--in both North and South....The editors' introduction and epilog and an extensive bibliography make this an especially useful source for scholars and teachers."--Library JournalClinton, Catherine is the author of 'Divided Houses' with ISBN 9780195074079 and ISBN 0195074076.
