This chapter details the civil war that broke out between the Union and the Condederacy. It gives a comprehensive explanation of the conduct of the war and the significant decision of President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave a humanitarian and moralistic dimension to the fighting.

This last chapter tackles the Reconstruction period during which the Federal government endeavoured to rebuild the damaged South and allow its readmission to the Union. The fight over reconstruction underlined the constitutional difficulty to determine what branch of government was entitled to carry out that task.

Rebuilding the destroyed South was a tedious and complicated task that would mobilise governmental as well as popular resources. The newly freed slaves also played an important role towards achieving their full freedom. However, the reconstructed South was not ready to radically change its pre-war social picture.
