Together, we will explore the origins, contours, and grand strategies of the American Civil War through the lens of international relations. Despite its exceptional origins, the American Union falls into a catastrophic civil war, which ends with the conquest of one regional section by another and fundamentally changes the constitution. Topics include: the expansionary causes of disunion, the character of military forces, the foreign policies of north and south, and international perceptions of the conflict.
