What was it like to belong to one of the Union's first African
American divisions? Were all members of the Confederate army
white? Did women participate in the Civil War? These questions
and many more are answered in the new book United No More!,
a thrilling voyage into the hearts and minds of key figures
of the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln,
Robert Shaw, William Carney, Julia Ward Howe, and Ulysses
S. Grant are among the women and men whose adventures are
included. Called "a terrific history" in a starred review
in Kirkus, it is the Civil War as you've never seen
before. With captivating illustrations by Rick Reeves, the
book provides a detailed look at the outbreak, the years of
struggle, and the outcome of the war. Dramatic and thoroughly
researched, each chapter in United No More! places
you in the shoes of women and men, blacks and whites, Northerners
and Southerners, as they live out the dramas of the great
and terrible war between the states.
