Commanders from both sides of the conflict are ranked according to the best and worst ever to lead troops during the war. A selection of casualty figures demonstrates the enormous number of lives taken on the fields of the war's bloodiest battles. The composition of the armies is given in terms of state origin, ethnic background, and even average height of the troops. Lists also probe social issues such as the distribution of the African American and White populations, the elections of 1860 and 1864, and the songs and poems sung in the North and the South. Lists of the best books available on the Civil War provide a pathway through the mountainous literature on the subject and offer a basis for further study. More frivolous lists detail unusual unit nicknames, delicacies made from hardtack, the ugliest generals, and generals killed in personal encounters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOver 300 informative lists of facts and trivia including: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Brigades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Regiments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen Best and Worst Commanded Battles of the War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen Most Evenly Matched Battles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Turning Points of the War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eState, Division, and Brigade Strengths and Losses at Gettysburg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloodiest and Least Bloody Battles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegiments with Greatest Total Casualties, Percentage Loss, and Battle Deaths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerals Listed by West Point Class and Rank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert E.
