...Civil War, slave owners, and the political economy of Southern plantation agriculture is a strange response from a student of history at Harvard College. In particular, his derisive citing of Faust’s essay analyzing the impact of the exaggerated scale of deaths during the Civil War??–more than 4,800 soldiers died on a single day in Antietam––on American life and society is particularly unfortunate given the time in which we are living...

She said that the book influenced the way she thought about ways to bring about reform at Radcliffe. As the interview came to a close, Faust took the opportunity to mention the factors which, in her opinion, make Harvard...
