| Summary | "My Diary: North and South" by Sir William Howard Russell is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a diary chronicling Russell’s observations and experiences during his travels across America amidst the backdrop of the Civil War. The text features various interactions with notable figures of the time, exploring the tumultuous American society caught in the conflict between the North and the South. The opening of the narrative begins with Russell detailing his journey from Cork to America, highlighting the challenges of the Atlantic crossing and introducing a diverse array of fellow passengers, each representing differing political views on the impending war. He reflects on the contentious atmosphere he encounters among Americans, particularly regarding the issue of slavery and secession. In the subsequent chapters, Russell continues to capture his impressions of New York City, the political climate, and the contrasting perspectives of Northerners and Southerners, establishing a framework for an engaging exploration of American life during this pivotal period.
