Canada's American Civil War

This is a great book that is a well-written popular work that shows how the Civil War was a North American, rather than just American war.I had no idea of the connection of Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth to Canada or of any of the Confederate guerilla operations in Quebec and Ontario. Nor did I know that Canadians were very sympathetic to the South and not because of slavery.It's also interesting that some Canadian political institutions were designed so Canada could avoid a similar experience.
