书目名称 | Reconfiguring the Union | 副标题 | Civil War Transforma | 编辑 | Iwan W. Morgan,Philip John Davies | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Studies of the Americas | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | From the perspective of the North, the Civil War began as a war to restore the Union and ended as a war to make a more perfect Union. The Civil War not only changed the moral meaning of the Union, it changed what the Union stood for in political, economic, and transnational terms. This volume examines the transformations the Civil War brought to the American Union as a politico-constitutional, social, and economic system. It explores how the war changed the meaning of the Union with regard to the supremacy of the federal government over the states, the right of secession, the rights of citizenship, and the political balance between the union‘s various sections. It further considers the effect of the war on international and transnational perceptions of the United States. Finally, it considers how historical memory has shaped the legacy of the Civil War in the last 150 years. | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | civil rights; Civil war; conflict; democracy; Lincoln, Abraham; transformation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137336484 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-46350-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-33648-4 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Nature America Inc. 2013 |
