Description
Historians have broadened the interpretation of the US Civil War as a battle between the North and the South by revealing the â?omany Southsâ?? that made up the Confederacy, but the â?oNorthâ?? has remained largely undifferentiated as a geopolitical term. In this welcome collection, seven Civil War scholars offer a unique regional perspective on the Civil War by examining how a specific group of Northernersâ?"Midwesterners, known as Westerners and Middle Westerners during the 1860sâ?"experienced the war on the home front. From the exploitation of Confederate prisoners in Ohio to wartime college enrolment in Michigan, these essays reveal how Midwestern men, women, families, and communities became engaged in myriad war-related activities and support. Agriculture figures prominently in the collection, with several contributors exploring the agricultural power of the region and the impact of the war on farming, farm families, and farm women. Contributors also consider student debates and reactions to questions of patriotism, the effect of the war on military familiesâ?T relationships, issues of womenâ?Ts loyalty and deference to male authority, as well as the treatment of political dissent and dissenters.
