Punkt 1 von 4
A nation at war with itself
The Civil War ran from 1861 to 1865. Eleven Southern states left the Union, and the Northern states fought to bring them back. Adventure books of this kind take that struggle as their stage.
The title points to the cause at the heart of such tales. The Union was to stay one country, not two. Young readers were meant to feel that this goal was worth danger and sacrifice.
As you read, keep in mind that the book speaks from the Northern side.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
