Synopsis
A Civilization Gone with the WindAmid all the printer's ink and historical speculation, the Antebellum Period (approx. 1820-1860) has largely been ignored until recently. The Antebellum often gets lost between its better-documented Federalist and Victorian "bookends." Well-educated adults are often unsure of the meaning of the term "antebellum" or relegate the entire pre-Civil War Era to Margaret Mitchell's images of Clayton County, Georgia in Gone With the Wind (1936) with its magnolia-scented plantations, hoop skirts, and flirtatious Southern Belles. While Mitchell's view of the Old South was not too far removed from the truth, and deserves its venerated place as a work of fiction and cinematography, it is far from giving a full historical view of all of Antebellum America. Americans were acutely aware of the business climate and political activities taking place across the globe and not only those of local importance. While the speed of modern communications would be incomprehensible to them, Antebellum Americans did not live in a box sealed off from the rest of the world, or conveniently segregating as American rather than British or Asian History in a modern collegiate course catalog. As will be seen, there is ample evidence that Americans affected and were affected by occurrences that took place oceans away. They were expansionists, not isolationists. Moreover, Antebellum Americans were seaman, merchants, and traders; students, visitors and expatriates; Northerners, Southerners, and emigrants; who fully participated in an empire of goods coming from sources in every corner of the world.Here in this pretty world gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of knights and their ladies fair ... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered .. I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace.-Margaret Mitchell, author (1936), A Civilization Gone with the Wind Amid all the printer's ink and historical speculation, the Antebellum Period (approx. 1820-1860) has largely been ignored until recently.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
