This was an interesting book to read. It was fascinating to read of the happenings and goings on that occurred during the American Civil War.
The book details how in the border states the Civil War wasn't completely about the abolishment of slavery but that the overall story was much more complicated, and that the war divided communities.
I found the information contained in the text very interesting with facts that I didn't know before. If you are intending to read this to learn about the military history of the war then you are wasting your time. In the chapters covering the Civil War itself, the narrative concentrates on the effects of the War, on State and local politics and on communities ravaged by frequent lawlessness, often partly ignored and endorsed by military and civilian authorities.
This is a hard book to read and needs effort and concentration from the reader to read. It is well-written and it really shines because of its , detailed individual case histories of people who lived during the Civil War. Anyone interested in the history of the American Civil War and wants a different perspective on the story should read this book. An enjoyable read.… (meer)
