<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The American Civil War Trivia Book is an entertaining, instructive and interesting Trivia & Facts book about the American Civil War. This book will lead you, step-by-step, through the causes of the Civil War, and the effects. Each chapter ends with a bonus of trivia and some quick questions to test your knowledge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>If you went to school in the United States, you probably learned about the Civil War - but this book won't be like what you learned in history class. Maybe your teacher took the controversial stand that the Civil War was all about states' rights... or maybe you learned all about the horrors slavery, but never quite figured out why things didn't get better after the war ended.<br /> <br /> If you didn't go to school in the United States, things are even more confusing. When the media is full of references to the Confederate flag, the legacy of slavery, and poverty in the American South, you might have a vague sense that things are bad because of the Civil War... but why? Why does a war that happened over a hundred and fifty years ago still cast a shadow over the United States?<br /> <br /> This book will tell you why. It will lead you, step-by-step, through the causes of the Civil War, and the effects. But unlike your high school history teacher, it won't put you to sleep with long-winded biographies and lists of dates. The names you'll learn are the big players, the ones with big personalities, who made big differences.<br /> <br /> In just a few minutes a day, you can read bite-sized stories from the Civil War - quick, easy explanations to guide you through the main points, with just enough scary, surprising, or just plain strange facts to keep you coming back for more.<br /> <br /> Each chapter ends with a bonus helping of trivia and some quick questions to test your knowledge.<br /> <br /> By the time you're finished, you'll know all the facts your history teacher never taught you - from who said slavery was a "positive good" (and why they thought that), to who dressed up in women's clothing to escape from Union soldiers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I found the e-book the American Civil War Trivia Book to be quite interesting. I am fairly knowledgeable about the history of the Civil War and found that the trivia in this book enhanced my knowledge base on the Civil War. I noticed that a couple of the reviewers indicated this book was biased but I wonder how presenting the truth can be considered biased? I'm pretty sure the issue is states rights which in this case means states being allowed to keep their slaves. I like that the book is divided into chapters and that following each chapter there are questions and then the answers. This e-book can be used as a supplement in Civil War history classes." by Modupe Hendricks<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "I am not big on history and worried I wouldn't be fond of this book. I'm glad I was wrong. What I really enjoyed was the layout. Each chapter has a main category which is broken into subcategories which is where you get explanations, that is followed by a 'random fact' list and ending with a little quiz/answer section. Fun layout and a good read." by Allyssa<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "As both a American history and trivia buff, I found this book very educational, entertaining and fun to read. The author discusses American history events and products (like the cotton gin) in a very entertaining manner. I found the book a fun read, and well worth reading to pick up some tidbits of information I didn't know before. Recommended." by D. Dalal<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "Lots of interesting historical facts you may not find in your typical history book. This helps to give you a more "behind the scenes" look at some of the past we thought we already knew." by Mary V.<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "The information is presented in a fun and informative way, so that you can learn while having fun. Lots of good information." by Ruth Bandstra</p><br>
