Students will also find helpful study aids on the companion website for the book. A House Divided provides a short; readable survey of the Civil War and the Reconstruction period afterward; focusing not only on the battles; but on how Americans lived during a time of great upheaval in the country’s history; and what that legacy has meant to the country today.
