Publisher's Synopsis

The principal contention of this series of essays is that the American Civil War (1861-1865) was the true American Revolution, and that Abraham Lincoln was the catalyst of sweeping changes. The author draws parallels with the earlier French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution in the UK.
