This book examines Mississippi's Civil War experience. It begins
with an introductory overview of the socio-political climate of the
state during the 1850s and ends with a treatment of Mississippi's
post-war environment and the rise of Lost Cause mythology. In
between, the work covers the pivotal events, issues, and
personalities of the period. Wynne emphasizes the experiences of
Mississippians-male and female, black and white-as they struggled
to deal with the crisis. The political events leading to secession,
Mississippians' initial enthusiasm for war, voices of dissent, the
disbursement of troops in and out of the state, the home front,
freedom for the slave community, waning enthusiasm (both in the
military and on the home front) as the war dragged on, defeat, and
the ultimate struggle to turn defeat into a moral victory through
Lost Cause mythology are also discussed.
