While revealing that the role of a noxious 'white supremacy' in the American politics of the period has been exaggerated - as has the power of the Copperheads - Neely revives the claim that the Civil War put the country on the road to 'human rights', and also reveals a previously unnoticed tendency toward deceptive and impractical grandstanding on the Constitution during war in the United States.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
