The First American Civil War; First Period

This 1911 British study reformulates the American Revolution as a "War of Disunion" in its depiction of the "moral and social background of the struggle." The author (then a fellow at King's College in London) narrates the political and military developments of the conflict in a manner that is like unto a dark mirror from the traditional patriotic narratives produced in the United States.
