Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Shelby Foote's "The Civil War: A Narrative" is intended by the author to be a classic account of a new vision of America which attempts to provide, not a southern but a supra-sectional account of the Civil War. This paper attempts to articulate Foote's vision of America by understanding his approach to the themes of race and slavery as causes of the conflict. In the end, while Foote vindicates an interpretation of the Civil War in which the elimination of slavery is a key cause and objective of the war, he demonstrates that one cannot celebrate this conflict as a successful war of liberation. On the contrary, the objective of liberation legitimates a conflict that is not under human control, and which results in immeasurable human suffering that eventually establishes a new form of black slavery in the South.
