Book Description
The 22-book American Milestone series is featured as "Retailers Recommended Fabulous Products" in the August 2012 edition of Educational Dealer magazine. When America was young, she was nearly torn apart! The new nation was already divided into tow separate worlds: North and South. These worlds collided when a newly elected Abraham Lincoln decided that he would use force to keep the Union together. Southerns like General Robert E. Lee believed that individual states should not be forced to remain in the Union against their will. "Preservation of the Union" became the battlecry when Southerners left the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. The South depended on slave labor to keep their agricultural economy growing. Many Northerns worked in factories. This cultural difference was another issue that divided young America. Between the first shots fired at Fort Sumter and the end of the war at Appomattox Court House, thousands of people died and many cities were destroyed. The Emancipation Proclamation changed the ugly face of slavery forever! Young men went off to war and came home legends. Many fought against their own brothers - and didn't come home at all!
