Southern Families at War : Loyalty and Conflict in the Civil War South: Loyalty and Conflict in the Civil War SouthWomen's History Catherine Clinton Historian of Southern History, and the American Civil War Oxford University Press, USA, 17 lug 2000 - 256 pagine Whether it was planter patriarchs struggling to maintain authority, or Jewish families coerced by Christian evangelicalism, or wives and mothers left behind to care for slaves and children, the Civil War took a terrible toll.

Through the prism of the southern family, this volume of twelve original essays provides fresh insights into this watershed in American history. |
