PDF A Spectacular Leap: Black Women Athletes in Twentieth-Century America by Jennifer H. Lansbury in History

Description

These four essays by Howard Jones; R. J. M. Blackett; Thomas Schoonover; and James M. McPherson reconsider why the Confederacy never received the foreign aid that it counted on; and trace the war's impact upon European and Latin nations and dependencies. The book provides fresh perspectives regarding Britain's refusal to recognize the Confederacy; the role abroad of pro-Union African-American lecturers; French emperor Napoleon III's intervention in Mexico; and the Civil War's meaning to peoples all over the world.
