Summary "Pictorial History of the War for the Union" by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work aims to provide a complete and reliable history of the American Civil War, chronicling the events from its commencement to its close while highlighting the battles, encounters, and personal anecdotes from eyewitnesses and participants in the conflict. At the start of the volume, the author addresses the immense challenge of documenting the ongoing Civil War, emphasizing the importance of impartiality and truth in recounting this turbulent period. The opening sections detail the political atmosphere surrounding Abraham Lincoln's inauguration in March 1861, the secession of Southern states, and the urgent situation at Fort Sumter, which became the first battleground of the war. Mrs. Stephens sets the stage for the conflict by recounting the mounting tensions, the military movements, and the bravery exhibited by figures like Major Anderson, as they faced the prospect of war in a nation unprepared for the carnage that was to follow.
