Blight is really about after the war. Best book on the political history leading up to the war remains David Potter’s Impending Crisis. Bruce Levine’s little book on the politics of CW itself is good.

Tanks! But what about postwar interpretations of the war, from the Lost Cause school to the Natural Limits to Slavery school… am looking for meta-stuff, history of the histories…

Is there an updated equivalent of Thomas J. Pressly's Americans Interpret Their Civil War (1962)? … and if not does that book still have value? Many thanks!
