Contemporary historians and literary scholars continually expand
the geographic, temporal, and thematic dimensions of the Civil War
era. They analyze the war deeply and expansively, identifying
subjects, themes, and topics that emerged decades before the
secession crisis and lingered long after the last federal troops
left the less-than-reconstructed South. In this wide-ranging
volume, eminent historians John David Smith and Raymond Arsenault
assemble a distinguished group of scholars to build on the growing
body of work on the "Long Civil War" and break new ground. They
cover subjects including antebellum missionary activity and
colonialism in Africa, the home front, the experiences of disabled
veterans in the US Army Veteran Reserve Corps, and Dwight D.
Eisenhower's personal struggles with the war's legacy amid the
growing civil rights movement. The contributors also offer fresh
interpretations and challenging analyses of topics such as
ritualistic suicide among former Confederates after the war and
whitewashing in Walt Disney Studios' historical Cold War--era
movies. Featuring many leading figures in the field, The Long Civil
War meaningfully expands the focus of what previous generations of
historians judged to be mid-nineteenth-century history. It offers
important insights into a conflict that continues to reverberate in
many aspects of American politics and culture and opens new avenues
of inquiry.
