New Perspectives On The Union War Gary W Gallagherelizabeth R Varon by Gary W. Gallagher;elizabeth R. Varon; instant download after payment.

Edited by Gary Gallagher and Elizabeth Varon, two of the most prominent nineteenth-century American historians in the nation, New Perspectives on the Union War provides a more nuanced understanding of what “Union” meant in the Civil War North by exploring how various groups of northerners conceived of the term.
