Description:

The social, political, and military developments of the Civil War are explored in a rare new light through these clever and biting popular editorial cartoons of the day. Original cartoons, arranged chronologically, have been pulled from various sources, including Vanity Fair, Colliers, Punch, Leslie's Illustrated, The Southern Illustrated News, and other period publications. Each piece is illuminated with essential background information and an explanation of the underlying sentiments and subtleties of the era's cultural and political landscape.
