520 _a"The History of the Confederate War, Its Causes and Its Conduct, Volume 2 (of 2)" by George Cary Eggleston is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume continues the detailed narrative of the American Civil War, specifically focusing on the conduct of the war and the numerous campaigns that transpired during this tumultuous period. The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the events that led to the war, the military strategies employed, and the broader implications of the conflict on American society. At the start of this volume, the narrative delves into significant themes such as the struggle for emancipation, President Lincoln's cautious approach to slavery and the Union, and the military leadership challenges faced during crucial campaigns like Fredericksburg and those in the Western Theater. It highlights the complex motivations behind the war—ranging from state rights to the institution of slavery—while detailing key figures like Lincoln and General Burnside and his ill-fated Fredericksburg campaign. The opening sets the stage for a critical examination of military strategies and political decisions that shaped the course of the war, emphasizing both the victories and the staggering losses on both sides.
