In The Confederacy as a Revolutionary Experience (1970) and The
Confederate Nation (1979), Emory Thomas redefined the field of
Civil War history and reconceptualized the Confederacy as a unique
entity fighting a war for survival. Today scholars continue to
build on Thomas's work. Inside the Confederate Nation honors his
enormous contributions to the field with fresh interpretations of
all aspects of Confederate life--nationalism and identity, family
and gender, battlefront and homefront, race, and postwar legacies
and memories. Many of the volume's twenty essays focus on
individuals, households, communities, and particular regions of the
South, highlighting the sheer variety of circumstances southerners
faced over the course of the war. Other chapters explore the public
and private dilemmas confronted by diplomats, policy makers,
journalists, and soldiers within the new nation. All of the essays
attempt to explain the place of southerners within the Confederacy,
how they came to see themselves and others differently because of
the new nation, and the disparities between their expectations and
reality. Contributors include James M. McPherson, William C. Davis,
Joseph T. Glatthaar, and many other prominent and rising scholars.
This exciting new collection continues the interpretive debates
Thomas's work first inspired thirty-five years ago, affirming his
lasting influence on Civil War history.
