General-centered Civil War history can hide what the war changed
Grant, Lee, Lincoln, major battles, and military alternatives occupy much of the outline. Strategy matters, but a story dominated by commanders can push slavery, emancipation, civilians, and Reconstruction toward the margins. The episode's own breadth makes it possible to ask what becomes visible only after the battlefield narrative widens.
