What if Lee had avoided defeat at Gettysburg? What if a military stalemate had developed, coupled with growing antiwar sentiment? What if Lincoln had been defeated in the 1864 election and Great Britain had recognized the Confederacy? What would have been the careers of an independent Confederate States of America and a defeated United States?

"No historian has thought through such 'what if' questions as seriously as Roger Ransom," says the Washington Post Book World. A master of historical analysis, Roger L. Ransom follows the consequences of the "what if" scenario over an extended period of time, exploring such issues as the fate of slavery in a CSA, how the economies of the USA and the CSA would have developed, and how their foreign policies would have differed. The result is a fascinating historical vision that is a source of insight into the critical events of the Civil War period as they actually happened.]]> 107090 4.00 12 3 2006 183569 0521795508 9780521795500 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172519226m/183569.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172519226s/183569.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/183569.One_Kind_of_Freedom_The_Economic_Consequences_of_Emancipation 4.00 3 107090 4.00 12 3 1977 1023738 0521311675 9780521311670 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180310788m/1023738.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180310788s/1023738.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1023738.Conflict_and_Compromise_The_Political_Economy_of_Slavery_Emancipation_and_the_American_Civil_War 4.00 2 107090 4.00 12 3 1989 3413968 0521292034 9780521292030 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3413968.One_Kind_of_Freedom_The_Economic_Consequences_of_Emancipation 5.00 1 107090 4.00 12 3 107089 5.00 1 0 1978 1024098 1559380071 9781559380072 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1024098.Research_in_Economic_History_A_Research_Annual_1989 0.0 0 107090 4.00 12 3 13968 3.60 5 1 1989 1023747 0131722883 9780131722880 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1023747.Coping_With_Capitalism_The_Economic_Transformation_of_the_United_States_1776_1980 0.0 0 107090 4.00 12 3 1981 1253385 0691059861 9780691059860 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182278032m/1253385.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182278032s/1253385.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1253385.The_Academic_Scribblers 0.0 0 The Academic Scribblers offers a thoughtful and highly literate summary of modern economic thought. It presents the story of economics through the lives of twelve major modern economists, beginning with Alfred Marshall and concluding with Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman. In a very real sense, this book picks up where Robert Heilbroner's classic The Wordly Philosophers leaves off. Whereas Heilbroner begins with Smith and ends with Joseph Schumpeter, Breit and Ransom bring the story of modern American and British economic theory up to the 1980s. The Academic Scribblers is an elegant summary of modern economic policy debate and an enticement into a happy engagement with the "dismal science" of economics."]]> 262332 5.00 1 0 107090 4.00 12 3 1998 1023604 0030512360 9780030512360 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1023604.Academic_Scribblers_Economists_in_Collision 0.0 0 The Academic Scribblers offers a thoughtful and highly literate summary of modern economic thought.
