The Tindall and Shi book is a good general US History book not a definitive History of or study of the Civil War and its causes.
Big difference between the two.
Be prepared to discount/dismiss it a bunch more times then if it turns out its written that way....
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
