Estados Unidos en Secesión: de la comunidad de americanos a la sociedad estadounidense

By 1860, two decades of deep political and social tensions had led the United States to territorial split and war. The Secession and the Civil War cause an unprecedented cataclysm in the country in terms of destruction and historical change. But both are at the same time the result of a slow and long passage of the history of American democracy and the original republic, as conceived by the first generations of citizens. This book does not speak of the war itself but of the factors and episodes that allowed the transition from the American community to contemporary American society in those years.
