Summary
Escott explores the contentious issue of American Civil War remembrance by comparing it to another national civil war--the Spanish Civil War. He explores the large-scale social and emotional wounds these conflicts left, the new power structures, the "spoils' of war, the future the winning sides created for each country, and various ways later generations revisited the moral and political aspects of the conflict.
