The Gray and the Blue: A Comic Strip History of the Civil War

Angebote / Angebote:

For generations, the education system has taught a skewed Northern perspective of the Civil War in which brave Southern men are considered traitors and the Union Army saints. This resource about the War Between the States, written in comic-strip form, illustrates a Southerner's perspective on the War, including Abraham Lincoln's refusal to let the Southern states withdraw from the Union, which was their right according to the U.S. Constitution.In an effort to educate children and adults alike, the book's twenty illustrated chapters bring to light realities such as how Sherman's men plundered the South and how the Union held more than 13, 000 political prisoners without allowing them legal trials. This study also addresses subjects such as the first big battle of the War, the introduction of iron ships into battle, the shortest battle, and the deadliest day. Historical documents, newspapers clippings, and letters are used throughout the text as are maps, diagrams, and short profiles of major figures.
