Description: "The Civil War marked a turning point in U.S. history - a time when Americans fought against one another to decide the fate of the country. As the young nation's Union government, led by president Abraham Lincoln, grappled with the Confederacy of slave-owning states, its citizens fought and died in some of the bloodiest combat in history." "The new Civil War Almanac contains a detailed, day-by-day chronology of the events and people of this monumental war, while the A-to-Z dictionary offers biographical information on leading military and political figures involved in the conflict. This comprehensive reference also contains illustrations and maps, an appendix, and a bibliography for further research."--Jacket.
