Bøger af John Patrick Daly

Offers a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments.

Daly focuses on the culture of antebellum America and the debate on the morality of slavery that obsessed people of the period. He argues that antislavery and proslavery emerged from the same evangelical roots; both sides interpreted the Bible in light of individualism and free market economics.
