Churchill began work on this section of A History Of The English-Speaking Peoples in June 1939, writing to his editor Newman Flower at Cassell the next month "the story of the American Civil War is a small book in itself." This edition, the first separate edition, followed the 1958 publication of the fourth volume of Churchill's Anglosphere history in 1961.
