Description: "War Between the States Changed Texas Forever is not just a narrative about Texas during the war known as the US Civil War with the usual historic personalities, battles, and compilation of dates and facts -- this 2-volume set fills several gaps by using previous published and unpublished material garnered from numerous archival sources. What caused the South to separate from the North in a desperate attempt to keep their way of life? What was life like on the home front in Texas? What were the national politics of the time, including local politics long after this war ended? How did the Reconstruction period during 1865-1875 affect Texas for the following 100 years? If you are interested in a better understanding of the turmoil, tragedy, and triumph of those times and how it affects our lives today - this is a must read."--[by] Jerry Patterson - Texas Land Commissioner 2005-2015; Texas State Senator District 11 1993-1998; US Marine, retired Lieutenant Colonel 1971-1993
