Practically all Civil War historians agree that after the fall of
Atlanta in September 1864 and Lincoln's triumphant reelection in
November, the South had no remaining chance to make good its
independence. Well aware that Appomattox and Durham Station were
close at hand, historians have treated the war's final months in a
fashion that smacks strongly of denouement: the great, tragic
conflict rolls on to its now-certain end. Certain, that is, to us,
but deeply uncertain to the millions of Northerners and Southerners
who lived through the anxious days of early 1865. The final months
of the Confederacy offer fascinating opportunities-as a case study
in war termination, as a period that shaped the initial
circumstances of Reconstruction, and as a lens through which to
analyze Southern society at its most stressful moment. "The
Collapse of the Confederacy" collects six essays that explore how
popular expectations, national strategy, battlefield performance,
and Confederate nationalism affected Confederate actions during the
final months of the conflict.
