This unusual presentation of the War Between the States takes the reader from Fort Sumter through Appomattox in hundreds of delightful cartoon panels. A perfect introduction to America's defining conflict, it is fast-moving enough to keep the interest of grade schoolers, yet sufficiently factual and historically accurate to please the adult reader, even the history buff.

An ideal introduction to the war for anyone, this presentation is particularly suited to children as an antidote to the politically correct view they will encounter at school and on television. It presents the Southerners as exercising their Constitutional right to withdraw from the United States and establish their own government. When Lincoln resorted to force to prevent Southerners from establishing their own form of government, the resulting war became the dramatic highpoint of American history. Recommended for home schooling.
