New Perspectives on the Union War, Paperback / softback Book

New Perspectives on the Union War Paperback / softback

Edited by Gary W., University of Virginia Gallagher, Elizabeth R., University of Virginia Varon

Part of the The North's Civil War series

Paperback / softback

Description

Edited by Gary Gallagher and Elizabeth Varon, two of the most prominent nineteenth-century American historians in the nation, New Perspectives on the Union War provides a more nuanced understanding of what "Union" meant in the Civil War North by exploring how various groups of northerners conceived of the term.

The essays in this volume demonstrate that while there was a broad consensus that the war was fought, or should be fought, for the cause of Union, there was bitter disagreement over how to define that cause-debate not only between political camps but also within them.

The chapters touch on economics, politics, culture, military affairs, ethnicity, and questions relating to just war. Contributors: Michael T. Caires, Frank Cirillo, D.H. Dilbeck, Jack Furniss, Jesse George-Nichol, William B.

Kurtz, Peter C. Luebke, and Tamika Nunley
