Division and Reunion, 1829-1889; With Five Maps

Woodrow Wilson's book covers the political and social developments of the United States between 1829 and 1889, with a focus on the causes and consequences of the Civil War. Wilson argues that the war was necessary to preserve the Union and end slavery, but also that the Reconstruction period following the war was mishandled and led to further social and political strife.
