This work is the first monograph which closely examines the role of
the German minority in the American South during the Civil War. In
a comparative analysis of German civic leaders, businessmen,
militia officers and blockade runners in Charleston, New Orleans
and Richmond, it reveals a German immigrant population which not
only largely supported slavery, but was also heavily involved in
fighting the war. A detailed appendix includes an extensive survey
of primary and secondary sources, including tables listing the
members of the all-German units in Virginia, South Carolina and
Louisiana, with names, place of origin, rank, occupation, income,
and number of slaves owned. This book is a highly useful reference
work for historians, military scholars and genealogists conducting
research on Germans in the American Civil War and the American
South.
