  These biographies will constitute a complete and comprehensive history
  of the great American sectional struggle in the form of readable and
  authoritative biography. The editor has enlisted the co-operation of
  many competent writers, as will be noted from the list given below. An
  interesting feature of the undertaking is that the series is to be
  impartial, Southern writers having been assigned to Southern subjects
  and Northern writers to Northern subjects, but all will belong to the
  younger generation of writers, thus assuring freedom from any
  suspicion of wartime prejudice. The Civil War will not be treated as a
  rebellion, but as the great event in the history of our nation, which,
  after forty years, it is now clearly recognized to have been.
