The American Civil War in a Global Context "On May 31, 2014, an international group of scholars gathered at George Mason University for the penultimate program in the Signature Conference series, The American Civil War in a Global Context, led by conference chair Peter N. Stearns. Scholars examined the many ways that the Civil War reverberated across the world. It became clear that considering the Civil War from an international standpoint provides a number of unexpected connections between the American crisis and the wider world, and sheds new light on the war itself."--Preface |
