As a graphic designer and writer I wanted to combine history with a fun graphical style. Now I present a gift to children who have a curiosity about the world around them and its rich past, in the form of my series 'Simple History'.

It does cover the main points of what led to the civil war and how it ended. I can't say I disagree with Lincoln's goals as I find them admirable. However there was great loss of life as there is in any war. Although the numbers don't seem to reveal how many slave lives were lost as I think they should be counted as well. At least the end result was that slavery was abolished officially although as we all know it took several years before the last remnants were done away with.
