THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR ERA

This well-conceived compilation of primary sources and concise biographical and historiographical essays on the period of sectional conflict, Civil War, and Reconstruction in the United States is a valuable reference and teaching tool. Professor James M. McPherson, Princeton University

Tullochs Companion is an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and anyone who wishes to begin or continue learning about what is perhaps the central event in the history of the United States. Natalie Zacek, University of Manchester

The American Civil War is a defining moment in the history of the United States. At least 600,000 Americans lost their lives in a conflict that merged elements of the Napoleonic era with the technologies of the Machine Age. In this indispensable reference guide, Hugh Tulloch examines the military aspects of the war alongside the political, constitutional, social and economic developments and trends that informed and were in turn informed by the turbulent events that took place during Americas nineteenth century. As well as offering a unique examination of the literary and religious aspects of the era, key themes addressed include:

emancipation and the quest for racial justice

abolitionism and debates regarding freedom versus slavery

Civil War military strategies

presidential elections and party politics

cultural and intellectual developments

the Confederacy, secession and reconstruction

industrial and agricultural changes

Including a full glossary, biographies of central figures, key documents, guides to further reading and illustrated with informative maps, this companion provides a comprehensive and essential guide for all those who study American history.

Hugh Tulloch was Senior Lecturer in American History at Bristol University from 1971 to 2003. He is author of James Bryces American Commonwealth (1988), Six British Travellers to the United States, 191941 (2000) and The Debate on the American Civil War Era (2000).
