Summary "North America — Volume 2" by Anthony Trollope is a travel narrative and cultural commentary written during the early 19th century. The book serves as a reflection of Trollope's journey through the United States between 1861 and 1862, detailing his observations of American society, politics, and the effects of the Civil War. It provides insights into various aspects of American life, including industry, government, religion, and everyday customs, while imbued with the author's distinct perspective and critique. At the start of this volume, Trollope presents his observations of Washington, D.C., critically analyzing the city's layout, public buildings, and the social climate during the Civil War. He describes the contrast between the city's grand ambitions and its actual state, remarking on its unfinished nature and the lack of commercial vitality. Trollope, with a keen eye for detail, paints a vivid picture of the city during wartime, highlighting the disconnect between the government's aspirations and the realities on the ground, including the military presence and the struggles of its residents. The opening sets the tone for the rest of the volume, indicating a blend of personal narrative and societal examination. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
