Description: The American Civil War and the Paris Commune of 1871, Philip Katz argues, were part of the broader sweep of transatlantic development in the mid-nineteenth century - an age of democratic civil wars. Katz shows how American political culture in the period that followed the Paris Commune was shaped by that event.
