He does this by providing the stories of four individuals who lived in different places in the South under very different circumstances the year the Civil War ended. These stories are recreated by using the personal memoirs and diaries written by the people themselves, which creates a very authentic retelling of the lives of these people in 1865. For men and women living in this time period, America was changing all around them politically, not just because of the end of slavery but also because of the after effects of a civil war. The theme of the book is like that
Introduction : The Civil War in the US started in 1861 and ended in 1865. It was the result of tensions between the North and South because they didn't agree over slavery. After the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, the states seceded and formed the Confederate States of America. We'll see in a first part the causes of this war, in a second part we'll see that during the first two years of the war, Southern troops (the Confederates) won numerous victories but in the third point we'll see how the north forced the South to surrender in April 1865.

In the second part of the book (47), Freehling explicate the role of the white southerners who were against the Confederation and their role in the Secession Crisis.
Over three- hundred fifty years ago black Americans were enslaved. The first African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in1619. Slavery continued throughout the American colonies and African Americans slaves helped build the economic foundations of the new nation. By the mid ninth-teen century, America’s westward expansion, along with a growing abolition movement in the North, would provoke a great debate over slavery that would tear the nation apart in the bloody American civil war. Even though, the Union victory freed the nation’s four million slaves, the legacy of slavery continued to influence American history, ongoing to the years of Reconstruction to the civil rights movement that emerged in the 1960’s, a century after the emancipation.

The war produced more than 970,000 casualties, and 620,000 soldiers died. Even though all these soldiers died, “260,000 from the South and 360,000 from the North”9 were worth it, because four million slaves freed by the war. On January 1, 1863, the emancipation proclamation order issued by President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the freedom of slaves; however, the thirteenth amendment of the constitution end slavery completely in the United States.10 In the end, the civil war was very devastating. Many citizens died in this war than any other war in American history. The two causes of the civil war were slavery and Abraham Lincoln.
