Overview

Much Civil War violence occurred far away from traditional battlefields like Shiloh and Sharpsburg. Indeed, some of the war's most intense violence occurred on the Confederate home front, as families and neighbors were pitted against one another in bloody struggles for control.. "Daniel E. Sutherland gathers eleven essays, each one exploring the Confederacy's internal war in a different state. All help to broaden our view of the complexity of war and to provide us with a clear picture of war's consequences and its impact on communities, homes, and families.

In 11 essays, Civil War scholars throw light on war violence that happened far from the battlefields of the South, often between members of the same family or community. Among the topics are guerrilla war and extralegal violence in a north Georgia community, east Tennessee unionists during the war and Reconstruction, and the limits of dissent and loyalty in Texas.
