Despite the fact that the Civil War began over 150 years ago, it remains one of the most widely discussed topics in America today, with Americans arguing over its causes, reenacting its famous battles, and debating which general was better than others. Americans continue to be fascinated by the Civil War leaders who made the difference between victory and defeat.


This book looks at the lives of the Civil War's most important leaders, including the two presidents (Lincoln and Davis) and the two most celebrated generals on each side. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you'll learn about the Civil War's leaders like you never have before.
