This volume explores the political and social dimensions of the
Civil War in both the North and South. Millions of Americans lived
outside the major campaign zones so they experienced secondary
exposure to military events through newspaper reporting and letters
home from soldiers. Governors and Congressmen assumed a major role
in steering the personnel decisions, strategic planning, and
methods of fighting, but regular people also played roles in direct
military action, as guerrilla fighters, as nurses and doctors, and
as military contractors. Chapters investigate a variety of aspects
of military leadership and management, including coverage of
technology, discipline, finance, the environment, and health and
medicine. Chapters also consider the political administration of
the war, examining how antebellum disputes over issues such as
emancipation and the draft resulted in a shift of partisan dynamics
and the ways that people of all stripes took advantage of the flux
of war to advance their own interests.
