| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In 1861, eleven southern states seceded from the United States of America and formed The Confederate States of America, commonly known as the Confederacy. So began the bloodiest war in American history. The Civil War, driven by the issues of slavery, states rights, economics, politics and more, raged between the Confederacy and the Union, resulting in mass casualties on both sides and, ultimately, the Emancipation of the slaves and the rejoining of the seceded states. This book examines the motives, politics and military involvement of the Confederacy as a whole and of its individual states. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
