Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information The American Civil War is increasingly considered a major nineteenth-century event not just in American history but also in global politics, with ramifications for the future of slavery and ideas of popular, democratic government. Both Unionists and Confederates conducted separate but parallel diplomatic negotiations and trade arrangement with European nations, particularly Britain and France, while the choices Europe made had an impact on the war and subsequent international dynamics. The American Civil War: The International Context demonstrates the involvement of European nations in the American Civil War, including their internal discussions, reactions to approaches from Unionists and Confederates, the challenges and advantages the American conflict brought, and ist impact on politics and society. Value of the Collection Multiple Perspectives: The diplomatic correspondence regarding the American Civil War is complemented by papers of cotton merchants and shipbuilders, papers of pro-Union and pro-Confederate societies, letters home from Europeans who enlisted in the war, and legal documents relating to compensation after the war’s end. Comprehensive Coverage: The London American and The Index—Britain-based pro-Union and pro-Confederacy newspapers, respectively—are both included to give researchers insights into contrasting viewpoints and propaganda that aimed to shape British public opinion during the American Civil War. Both newspapers are cross-searchable. Topical Relevance: While the American Civil War is a fundamental topic of every university course on American history, lecturers are increasingly looking to teach the war in its transnational context. This archive provides the primary source insights needed to analyze the war from an international perspective.
