The Union War Author Gary W. Gallagher Publisher: Harvard University Press Publication Date: 2011 Binding: Hardcover Edition: First Edition Condition Like New Even one hundred and fifty years later, we are haunted by the Civil War—by its division, its bloodshed, and perhaps, above all, by its origins. Today, many believe that the war was fought over slavery. This answer satisfies our contemporary sense of justice, but as Gary Gallagher shows in this brilliant revisionist history, it is an anachronistic judgment.
