The twelve essays in "Wars within a War" explore the internal
stresses that posed serious challenges to the viability of the
opposing sides in the Civil War as well as some of the ways in
which wartime disputes and cultural fissures carried over into the
postwar years and beyond.
Comprised of contributions from leading scholars, this volume
extends the discussion of controversies far past the death of the
Confederacy in the spring of 1865. Contributors address, among
other topics, Walt Whitman's poetry, the handling of the Union and
Confederate dead, the treatment of disabled and destitute northern
veterans, Ulysses S. Grant's imposing tomb, and Hollywood's long
relationship with the Lost Cause narrative.
Reflecting a variety of approaches and methodologies, these
essays provide a starting point for anyone interested in how
Americans have argued about the prosecution, meaning, and memory of
the war.
