Life in the South during the Civil War was a time of sacrifice and suffering for all as the Federal government used total warfare to bring rebellious states back into the Union. American homes became military headquarters; churches and schoolhouses sheltered the dying; and huge armies swept across plantations and burned towns. Slaves accepted the hardships as the price of freedom, but white Southern enthusiasm for the Cause changed to disillusionment as everyone learned firsthand the high price of war and the bitterness of defeat in the end.

      Gr 8 Up-These volumes focus on the everyday lives of a variety of people, including different social and economic classes, women, children, and slaves and servants. The books describe how people were housed, where they worked, what they ate, and how they worshipped and learned. All are well written in clear, informative prose that draws on well-documented primary sources, which are quoted in the text and excerpted in sidebars. The titles are objective about the negative and positive parts of each culture. The average-quality maps, period reproductions, and photographs add little to the texts. More focused on ordinary people than the books in Lucent's "The Way People Live" series, these titles will promote deeper understanding of societies and groups that, for better or worse, influenced world history. Solid choices for secondary collections.
