It might have been John Steinbeck who said "The worst fights are family fights, and the worst wars are civil wars." Many Americans have a short memory, as far as history. All our recent fighting has been done in another county, so we have forgotten the horror of war at home.

Alternate History by Harry Turtledove, ''Guns Of The South''. What a read that one is, South African whites develop a time machine and go back to January 1864 to Riverton, NC. and supply the Confederate Armies with AK-47's!
Liberalism is a cult divorced from reality.
Look up Allen Nevins, historian. I have a four volume history of the Civil War that is excellently done, I understand his goal was eight volumes, but I'm not sure this was ever finished.

I am currently less than half way through Rebel Yell, and it is probably the fourth bio of Jackson I have read, plus the general history treatments of him, and I grew up just outside of Manassas, VA. The description of that battle is one of the best I have read. I can highly recommend it, and haven't finished it.
