The Civil War retains a powerful hold on the American imagination,
with each generation since 1865 reassessing its meaning and
importance in American life. This volume collects twelve essays by
leading Civil War scholars who demonstrate how the meanings of the
Civil War have changed over time. The essays move among a variety
of cultural and political arenas - from public monuments to
political campaigns to children's literature - in order to reveal
important changes in how the memory of the Civil War has been
employed in American life. Setting the politics of Civil War memory
within a wide social and cultural landscape, this volume recovers
not only the meanings of the war in various eras, but also the
specific processes by which those meanings have been created. By
recounting the battles over the memory of the war during the last
140 years, the contributors offer important insights about our
identities as individuals and as a nation.
