In Why Texans Fought in the Civil War, Charles David Grear provides
insights into what motivated Texans to fight for the Confederacy.
Mining important primary sources-including thousands of letters and
unpublished journals-he affords readers the opportunity to hear,
often in the combatants' own words, why it was so important to them
to engage in tumultuous struggles occurring so far from home. As
Grear notes, in the decade prior to the Civil War the population of
Texas had tripled. The state was increasingly populated by
immigrants from all parts of the South and foreign countries. When
the war began, it was not just Texas that many of these soldiers
enlisted to protect, but also their native states, where they had
family ties. CHARLES DAVID GREAR, who received his PhD in history
from Texas Christian University, is an assistant professor of
history at Prairie View A&M University. He holds a PhD from
Texas Christian University.
