Between 1861 and 1865, both the Confederate South and Southern
Italy underwent dramatic processes of nation-building, with the
creation of the Confederate States of America and the Kingdom of
Italy, in the midst of civil wars. This is the first book that
compares these parallel developments by focusing on the Unionist
and pro-Bourbon political forces that opposed the two new nations
in inner civil conflicts. Overlapping these conflicts were the
social revolutions triggered by the rebellions of American slaves
and Southern Italian peasants against the slaveholding and
landowning elites. Utilizing a comparative perspective, Enrico Dal
Lago sheds light on the reasons why these combined factors of
internal opposition proved fatal for the Confederacy in the
American Civil War, while the Italian Kingdom survived its own
civil war. At the heart of this comparison is a desire to
understand how and why nineteenth-century nations rose and either
endured or disappeared.
