From the Author

The modern United States, with its government, laws, and people, is a product of the Civil War. More than 100 million black and white Americans living today have ancestors who were directly affected by the war. Either they fought in the war, were freed from slavery, or were forced to free their slaves. This war shaped their lives, their society, and their nation. Through them, the Civil War shaped future generations of Americans.
