Looking for Help/Assistance
I've started researching civil wars, in general, particularly our own CW 1.0, the Iraqi War, and the Afghanistan War, and the period immediately after (whether it involved Separation/Dissolution or Reconstruction). Anyone knowing where I might find books on any of those, or original documents about the work of Reconstruction, please put links in the comments. I'm particularly interested in how a failure to manage the after-war peace process successfully poisons the relationship for a long time.

Choose your sources wisely, Linda. As a transplanted Yankee, I realized, after years of research, that much of the history of the War of Northern Aggression that I had been taught all the way up to the college level was biased at best and mostly false at worst. Reconstruction in all of the wars that you mention was mostly more salt in the wounds to fellow countrymen.
Try The Abbeyville Institute for sources. I warn you that most of the authors referenced are biased towards the Confederacy, but a lot of the information is factually based.
Reconstruction. By Eric Foner (1988).
There is a reasonably good production on you tube about the Spanish Civil War. It's made by Granada and it leans noticeably towards the left. It is a 6 part series. If you watch closely you'll notice startling similarities to the modern left and their tactics.
Thanks for the information - this should be a great start.
I just finished a contemporary Essay on the so-called Civil War. It covers the Concon of 1787 . First published in 1866. Is Davis a traitor...or was secession of the Confederate States a constitutional right prior to the Civil War of 1861, By Albert Taylor Bledsoe.
