I have a 10 page essay about the American civil war due tomorrow. Can you help me with some usefull links or .pdf files?
What specifically about the Civil war? Do you have an actual word limit rather than an arbitrary page limit?
Have the best books on the subject anyway:
Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era, James M. McPherson

The Civil War: A Narrative, Shelby Foote

It needs to be 4000-500 words. It doesn't need to be a specific subject, just the cilvil war in general. Like what happened before, during and after the war.

Bit awkward, then Shelby Foote's work would be great for it, considering it is a narrative history of the Civil war, though for obvious reasons you'll have to tone it down considering he wrote three volumes on it, focus on all the major events of the war, and their impacts, some other reading I remember using when I wrote an essay relating to the Civil War a few years back
The Confederate Nation, 1861-1865, Emory M. Thomas

What the fuck kind of essay is that? You're just summarizing what happened in the war? Just paraphrase Wikipedia and cite its sources.
5 star topics:
>What political issues have been the focus of the federal government for the 70 years prior to the acw? Bonus points if you discuss bleeding Kansas.
>Why did the South want to secede?
>Why did the north not want the South to secede?
>Throughout the war what was the southern and northern strategy?
>How did military tactics change from the start to the end of the war and why? What implications did that have for wars in the future?
>What was the North's plan for reintegration and reconstruction and what consequences did it have?
Remember, in the wider context of US history the particulars of the battles of the war are irrelevant unless you're specifically interested in military history.

> like what happened before, during, and after the war.
So you can write about literally anything?

Shelby Foote's books are great if you have all summer to do this essay.
Write about the Northern War of Aggression.

Don't forget about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corwin_Amendment
You just need 10 pages of "damn Yankees stole our niggers"

Before hand no war
In the middle there was war
Afterwards no war
