American Civil War: Almanac presents a comprehensive overview of the Civil War. The volume’s fourteen chapters cover all aspects of the conflict, from the prewar issues and events that divided the nation to the war itself—an epic struggle from 1861 to 1865 that changed the political and social landscape of America forever. The chapters are arranged chronologically, beginning with Slavery and the American South and ending with 1865-1877: Reconstruction. Interspersed are two chapters that cover two unique groups during the Civil War: women and blacks. Each chapter of the Almanac includes Words to Know and People to Know sections that define important
terms and individuals discussed in the chapter for easy reference. In addition, each chapter features informative sidebars containing brief biographies, excerpts from memoirs and speeches, and interesting facts about the issues and events discussed in the main body of the text. More than ninety black-and-white photos and maps illustrate the work. The Almanac also includes an American Civil War Timeline of important events, Words to Know and People
Reader’s Guideto Know sections that combine those terms from individual chapters, and a list of Research and Activity Ideas with suggestions for research efforts, oral and dramatic presentations,
and group projects. American Civil War: Almanac concludes with a bibliography of sources for further research and a comprehensive index.
