description: Long considered the standard text in the field, The Civil War and Reconstructionoriginally written by James G. Randall and revised by David Donaldis now available in a thoroughly revised new edition prepared by David Donald, Jean H. Baker, and Michael F. Holt. Maintaining the accuracy and comprehensiveness that distinguished the original, the revised edition incorporates the best new scholarship in the field. Expanded and updated coverage of social and cultural history includes detailed discussions of southern society, slavery and the African-American experience, the experiences of women, and issues of class. The postwar chapters have been reconceived to treat Reconstruction as a national, rather than a regional, problem, exploring the connections between developments in the South and parallel changes in the North.In this text on the American Civil War, Jean Baker discusses Southern society, slavery, the experiences of women and issues of class. Mike Holt has focused his attention on the post-war Reconstruction.
