Description

In Why Texans Fought in the Civil War, Charles David Grear provides insights into what motivated Texans to fight for the Confederacy.

Mining important primary sources - including thousands of letters and unpublished journals - he affords readers the opportunity to hear, often in the combatants' own words, why it was so important to them to engage in tumultuous struggles occurring so far from home. As Grear notes, in the decade prior to the Civil War the population of Texas had tripled.

The state was increasingly populated by immigrants from all parts of the South and foreign countries.

When the war began, it was not just Texas that many of these soldiers enlisted to protect, but also their native states, where they had family ties.
