In this path-breaking work on the American Civil War, Joan E.
Cashin explores the struggle between armies and civilians over the
human and material resources necessary to wage war. This war
'stuff' included the skills of white Southern civilians, as well as
such material resources as food, timber, and housing. At first,
civilians were willing to help Confederate or Union forces, but the
war took such a toll that all civilians, regardless of politics,
began focusing on their own survival. Both armies took whatever
they needed from human beings and the material world, which
eventually destroyed the region's ability to wage war. In this
fierce contest between civilians and armies, the civilian
population lost. Cashin draws on a wide range of documents, as well
as the perspectives of environmental history and material culture
studies. This book provides an entirely new perspective on the war
era.
