North and South by John Jakes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a long, but worthwhile read. I got a greater awareness of the levels of hostility and divisiveness on both sides of the conflict. I expected this book to include the civil war in it, but it only lead right up to that point. However, that was okay because there was a lot that led up to it.

Jakes did a good job of presenting both sides and of creating fictional characters that fit right into that world. They were frustrating and blinded and caring and non-stereotyped.
