Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

American Studies

Description:

In the mid-19th century, the American political system collapsed. Divergent visions of the American ideal plunged North and South into the bloodiest war in the Republic's history. This lecture course examines the roots of the nation's sectional division, the disintegration of mechanisms for political compromise, the structures and policies of the wartime Confederate and Union governments, the strategic conduct of the armed conflict, the societies at war, and the Union's first hesitant steps toward reconstruction and recovery.
