"[R]ecommended as a nice adjunct." - ARBAonline"This compilation of well-written essays on the social history of the American Civil War by Frank . . . is a new installment in ABC-CLIO's 'Perspectives in American Social History' series. . . . Students who use this book will come away with a better understanding of how one of the major events in U.S. history brought about many changes to the lives of citizens throughout the country. . . . This well-rounded book would be a nice addition to a school media center, two-year college, or public library collection." - Library Journal"Presenting modern historical scholarship in an accessible and engaging manner, this reference for students and general readers offers a social historian's view of the Civil War, shifting the focus away from political and military leaders to look at how the war affected, and was affected by, ordinary citizens across the spectrum of racial, class, and gender boundaries. . . . An emphasis on social history brings historical analysis into the classroom while still focusing on topics that will engage students." - Reference & Research Book NewsReviewed with Great Depression: People and Perspectives "Rather than highlighting politics or battles, these titles focus on how individuals and groups–including women, youth, African Americans, Native Americans, and various religious minorities–fared and were shaped by events during significant periods in American history. In addition to the attention to diverse groups, chapters in Great Depression explore the myriad problems faced in urban areas versus the countryside, and the impact of both technology and Hollywood movies during the 1930s. Civil War includes essays on soldiers, civilians, immigrants, and cities. Chapters in each volume are well researched, well documented, and individually authored. Informative sidebars will pique readers' interest in lesser-known personalities, while the substantial number of primary sources appended to each volume will allow advanced researchers the opportunity to explore topics in more depth." - School Library Journal"Lower-level undergraduates and general readers." - Choice"Recommended." - Library Media Connection
