The book explores the causes, key events, and consequences of the American Civil War from the perspective of the Confederate states, aiming to present a narrative that honors both sides of the conflict. It intends to delve deeply into the complexities that led to the war, including slavery, regional differences, and the political dynamics of the time. The opening of this account sets the stage for understanding the magnitude of the war fought from 1861 to 1865, highlighting the unprecedented scale of the conflict, with millions engaged and immense casualties on both sides. Eggleston emphasizes the war's significance not just in terms of military engagements, but in its transformative effects on American society, politics, and the economy. He introduces the concept of the war as a revolution rather than merely a civil conflict, framing it as a struggle for independence by the Southern states, and presents an overview of the subsequent societal upheaval that followed the war's conclusion.
