Civil War: Reconstruction (This Could Have Happened)

The horrors of the American Civil War left the United States in ruins. In the defeated Confederacy, thousands had died, crops were wiped out, and cities were devastated. In the victorious north, the massive cost of the war was also evident; finances had been drained and the state’s economies were on the brink of complete financial failure. Many around the world wondered if this once great country could rebound from this crisis at all.In his new novel, Civil War Reconstruction? (It Could Have Happened), author Burt Jagolinzer tells of another possibility - what if another nation were to step in and save the day?
