摘要

Many of us sitting in The-rnVirginia State Historical Society auditorium in March 2007 sensed that the papers being presented as part of "In the Cause of Liberty"-a symposium sponsored by the American Civil War Center at Historic Tre-degar in Richmond-were something special. Now, thanks to the LSU Press, many more Civil War scholars and enthusiasts can access the challenging insights and collective wisdom offered by the eminent historians who gathered there.rnJames M. McPherson's brief, trenchant essay on how the conflict transformed America shows why he's the reigning dean of Civil War scholars. "The tragic irony of the [war]," he observes, "is that both sides professed to fight for the heritage of liberty bequeathed to them by the Founding Fathers, but the two sides interpreted this heritage in opposite ways, and at first neither side included the slaves in the vision of liberty for which they fought."
