As early as 1865, survivors of the Civil War were acutely aware
that people were purposefully shaping what would be remembered
about the war and what would be omitted from the historical record.
In Remembering the Civil War, Caroline E. Janney examines how the
war generation - men and women, black and white, Unionists and
Confederates - crafted and protected their memories of the nation's
greatest conflict. Janney maintains that the participants never
fully embraced the reconciliation so famously represented in
handshakes across stone walls. Instead, both Union and Confederate
veterans, and most especially their respective women's
organizations, clung tenaciously to their own causes well into the
twentieth century. Janney explores the subtle yet important
differences between reunion and reconciliation and argues that the
Unionist and Emancipationist memories of the war never completely
gave way to the story Confederates told. She challenges the idea
that white northerners and southerners salved their war wounds
through shared ideas about race and shows that debates about
slavery often proved to be among the most powerful obstacles to
reconciliation.
